to you as a community service of the economist suntribune dents will scatter their days off through out the year mr crothers isnt against the idea but said there are many issues that come into play when allyear school is considered fifteen years ago the idea was pitched as a moneysaving option but it doesnt actually cut costs when factors such as installing air conditioning into schools comes into play there are good academic reasons for it but there are no savings with allround schooling mr crothers said reaction from parents is mixed for gabriella girgenri the summer is about getting away and relaxing we travel a lot so we look forward to the summer its too busy during the rest of the year to get away ms girgenri said i could see how it would work for some people though keswicks

board studied the option many parents with one child in elementary school and another in high school were concerned about conflicting vacation times the issue also surfaced at the york catholic district school board about nine years ago but also faced consider- able opposition from parents catholic board chairperson elizabeth crowe said if a school approached the board with the idea they would look into it but at the same time they have a poli cy not to force school communities to make the change i cant see it being on our radar at all ms crowe said of yearround schooling 5 dsr315
