[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would still be about 180 to 184 instructional days of school, so you'll be piecing together camps and other coverage, a week here, a week there.

Going to significantly more instructional days would take a truly epic budget increase.[/quote]

And most camps are in the summer so you’d be very limited. [/quote]
The camps would adjust to the school calendar. The current after school programs like Bar-T and Kidsco already have camp/daycare on days with school closures and over longer breaks. They would just shift when that is. OP wouldn’t save money, just shift the timetable.[/quote]

There are more camps than those and it would be an issue with older kids who sleep away or speciality camps, work, etc. [/quote]

Why do people use this as an excuse.  Plenty of districts have year round or modified year round schedules.  Do you think all their kids are suffering.  There are still weeks off during the traditional summer just not as many.  Camps, classes, kids adjust.[/quote]

This area will not adjust due to the large number of private schools. Many camp locations would only be operable during the 10 weeks of summer.[/quote]

Yes it will adjust. Businesses always do.[/quote]
