Florida Schools Could Go To Year Round Schedule
Florida schools could go to year round schedule.
Before you freak out, this is just a proposed idea. It is for a new pilot program. A couple of Florida schools could go to year round schedule. The House Choice & Innovation subcommittee voted to launch this program at 5 school districts starting in 2024. The subcommittee approved HB891.
Reasons To Keep Students In School All Year
First reason for year-round school is that Florida students’ learning was affected during the pandemic. Second, the crime rate increases for juveniles during the summer and this would help with that. Finally, they feel students fall behind academically during their months of summer vacation.
Under the pilot, the Florida Department of Education plans to study how the year-round schools handle student transportation, parent engagement, district budgeting and other issues. When the experiment ends, the Education Commissioner is expected to report back to the Governor and the Legislature about whether the state should adopt year-round school for all students.
The state hasn’t determined the school schedule showing when the elementary students would get their break times or how long their school day would be.
The story from Floridapolitics.com also says that 16 public schools in 10 school districts already offer year-round school, so this is not a new idea.
