It was to allow them to have additional weeks in the summer(August), when school age kids could still go to Sea World and contribute to the tourism industry. Realize that even though students aren't in school the utility bills are still adding up. The schools are open all summer. Administrative staff only has two weeks off during the summer, so there are only two weeks everything would be shut down. The schools are full of people, almost all summer long.

By starting school earlier it hurt the profits of the Six Flags type of the tourist industry. Not only did they lose customers but also workers who had to return to public education. The legislature may say to save energy but the bottom line is the lobyist for the amusement parks was very strong and had a great deal of money behind it.
