Your kids are probably either in an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America school or a Lutheran Church Missouri Synod one.Never heard of WELS running schools.

Hmm...I'll leave the conspiracy theories to others, but it seems something is afoot!

Actually it has to do with timing. If they started the 15-20 days after the sede vacante, then they will be coming dangerously close to Holy Week. Since at least part of the purpose for the wait was to let the Cardinals get there after receiving notice of the Conclave, it makes sense to start the Conclave when the sede vacante starts since this isn't an unexpected event. But since the Pope hasn't resigned in 600 years, there is no procedure for this in canon law.
