Does anyone know where I can find the list of year round DCPS schools?
Does this still exist? |

| I think it's called Extended School Year. |

It was called Extended School Year. The program has ended. The schools were:
"In addition to Turner and Raymond, the schools participating in the program include H.D. Cooke Elementary School in Ward 1 and Randle Highlands and Thomas Elementary School in Ward 7. Ward 8 schools include Kelly Miller Middle School, Garfield Elementary School, Hendley Elementary School, Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School, and Hart and John Hayden Johnson Middle Schools. There are 3,600 students attending the year-round schools." from this article https://afro.com/d-c-public-schools-start-year-round-program/. |

+1. Teacher shortage is real. Plus it’s hard to find child care on the days off because the days are different than other schools. |

| DCPS ended that awhile back. The benefits were marginal, if nonexistent. |

| I taught at both an extended day school and an extended year school. That extended year was super stressful and exhausting. |

It pretty much went away during the pandemic. It was great before that, though. |

Was it always some schools or one point they wanted to do it with all the schools? |

It was always just some. It would be too expensive to do everywhere, and many people don't want it. There is a DCPS summer program for people to opt into, and many charters run summer programming as well. |

| I taught at one and it absolutely served no purpose because most kids stopped attending when the other schools got out! Extra pay was nice. |
