[quote=Anonymous]It can definitely be done, but people should not underestimate the $$ investment that is necessary by both the school system and community to make it work. Nor should they underestimate the complaints and conversation they will undoubtedly hear from others. I lived in a medium sized district (~50K kids) that had this schedule and a modified year round calendar. There seemed to be a higher amount of kids in after school care or in camps during the weeks off than I see I my current school. And the cost to attend after school care was like $8-$10/day to parents. That’s versus here where after school care can easily cost parents $500/per week. Also,add as other PP’s have noted, that district had much fewer specialized programs and not all provided transportation. I’d also note that it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for ES parents getting kids up and out the door to bus stops or to school drop off at the crack of dawn.[/quote]
