Our school district is researching high schools going to a
year round schedule- basically 9 weeks on, 3 weeks off,
with maybe a 5 week summer break.
I would like to know if any of you are involved in this
type of schedule at the high school level or know enough
about one to comment on it.
I am concerned about students studying at home on those
nice summer days, athletes having practice over these
breaks which would essentially not give them a complete
break, or maybe going on vacation as families are forced to
change vacation schedules, topics ending abruptly or rushed
at the end of 9 weeks, summer jobs, etc.
Please let me know of your experiences,comments, any
research on the topic, people I can contact, etc.
