[quote=Anonymous]Good for MoCo--testing an expanded 210 school day calendar at 2 Title 1 schools. b http://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-beat/schools/montgomery-county-will-seek-extended-school-years-at-two-elementary-schools/ [quote]The school system will seek a waiver from the state for a proposed “innovative school year calendar” at two Title I schools, Arcola and Roscoe R. Nix elementary schools. Title 1 schools are those with high numbers of children from low-income families. The school system has been researching the issue for nearly a year and said studies have shown that extended summer breaks lead to learning loss during the summer, often referred to as the “summer slide.” While some wealthier students may have summers full of enrichment, students with fewer resources and opportunities are more likely to fall behind, school officials said.[/quote][/quote]
