Scheduling/School Calendar--Extended Day Programs


Summer learning programs — ranging from remedial instruction for failing pupils to enrichment courses for those at grade level — are an increasingly popular strategy for school districts struggling to improve student achievement.

This Issue Site looks at the scope and magnitude of the summer school boom; the financial and logistical problems that extending the school year poses for districts, particularly large urban districts; and the latest research findings on the design, use and potential benefits of summer learning programs. It also includes a roundup of recent state-level summer school initiatives.
