      The article presents an overview of efforts to extend the traditional school year in order to better utilize a community's school building resources, to provide additional instructional services to some students, and to minimize students' learning loss over a long summer vacation period. There are many variations for how a school district implements a "year-round education" schedule, but all options provide an instructional schedule that is alternative to the traditional calendar of 180 six-hour days. Traditionally, instruction takes place for large blocks of calendar time, is interspersed with week-long breaks and ends in a long summer break. In modified school calendars, instructional periods typically last forty-five or sixty days and are divided by breaks lasting three to four weeks. During breaks, called "intersessions," students in need of remediation or those who can benefit from enrichment receive additional services.
