Mandatory Year-Round still being considered

If you haven’t seen the article in Saturday’s N&O titled “Wake Expects School Squeeze”, take a look. An excerpt:

The growth is so huge that Beavers said the school board can't ignore looking at more mandatory year-round schools, which can handle about 20 percent more students than traditional schools.
Students in Wake's year-round schools attend 180 days of classes, like their peers in traditional-calendar schools.
The difference is that the 10-week summer break in traditional schools is eliminated in year-round calendars by interspersing breaks throughout the year.
There's already a proposal to open all new elementary schools on a year-round calendar. Talk will intensify about converting existing schools as well.
