Sioux Falls, SD (KELO-AM) Some parents have started a petition drive to get the start date for Sioux Falls schools moved to after Labor Day.
Wendy McDonnel says it would be beneficial to families, children, small businesses and tourism if the short summer in Sioux Falls could last longer.
She is optimistic that the group will get enough signatures - they need nearly 5,000 - to have the start date change before city voters in November.
