The President of The United States has now took a stand for year-round schooling. President Obama and Secretary of Education, Arne Duncn, have called the traditional school year "inadequate and outdated for 21st- century demands." Obama passed a $100 billion dollar stimulus plan for education. $5 billion dollars of that will go towards "incentives to transform public education system that produces too many high-school dropouts and too many failing urban schools."
By him doing this, many schools may reconsider switching over to the modified calender.
Do you think this will affect the movement of year-round schooling?
