The start of classes at Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) could come a bit early for students looking to still sleep the summer away during Labor Day.
FOX 2 Detroit reported that the next first day of class at DPSCD may come before Labor Day with a potential 2022-23 semester date slated for Monday, Aug. 29.
During a district school board meeting earlier this week, members approved the tentative plan as other school districts have, similarly, been on board.
