93.1 KISS-FM checked district calendars to find out when kids get turned loose for the holidays and found most students will begin their Christmas vacation when school lets out on Friday, Dec. 17.

The majority of students will drive their parents nuts with cries of "I'm bored," and "there's nothing to do" through the first weekend of the new year as most don't have their first school day of 2021 until January 4 or 5. "Only two-and-a-half weeks? I wish winter break was longer," said no parent ever.
