Schools here are air conditioned, but we live in what would be a desert without irrigation. We start mid-August and go through the first week of June. We get all of Thanksgiving week on as well as the Monday after Thanksgiving off so that more teachers will show up.
We get 3 weeks at Christmas. Originally this was because so many of the students went to Mexico for the holidays and wouldn't return on time. Not so many go anymore but the three weeks remain.
