PARENTS who have children in schools run by North Yorkshire Council and City of York Council could face a two-week half-term holiday because of differing dates.
Children attending schools in York will break up for half-term on Friday October 25, a week after those attending North Yorkshire schools.
This means parents in areas that border York could have one child off for a week and another for a further week.
A spokeswoman for the City of York Council said they were aware there was a problem, but the dates were set 18 months in advance and when the discrepancy was discovered it was too late to change. She said York's dates were the same as schools in the East Riding and they had resolved the problem for next year.
