[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC tried extended school year didn’t they? Or was it just extended day? I know Montgomery County just ended an innovative year calendar for next year. I suspect the cost-benefit for academics isn’t there and probably low attendance. You’re always going to have families with means say we are going on summer vacation/camp and pull their kids. Unless the whole region changes at the same time I don’t think DC will change. Maryland also recently tried to require schools to start after Labor Day as an economic boost to beach areas. Not sure how that went down but I remember it being a thing. [/quote] It was extended school year and that failed because of numerous reasons -if all DCPS schools were operating on a 6 week summer break instead I am sure the results would be different.[/quote]
