It seems that more and more Phoenix-area school districts are moving towards a modified year round calendar, with the Higley district being the latest to make the change starting next school year. Mesa Public Schools is also apparently considering doing so as well, and if they do they would join Chandler, Queen Creek, and Higley in the modified year round club.

I was wondering, does anyone think that there is a trend that more and more Phoenix area school districts will move to a modified year round calendar?

I don't see why not...I would rather the kids be out of school when it is nice out than stuck in the house when it is 110 outside. I love the Chandler schedule.

Right? 2 weeks for Spring Break is great as well. I kind of wish they would flip the Summer for the Winter break though. 2.5 weeks off in Summer and 6 weeks off in Winter would be about perfect.

We used to live in Japan decades ago and they have all year school. It was great. I love the idea, especially for high schools. Gives the kids an idea of what it's going to be like in a few years when they're out and working.

Just don't do like some cities I've lived in - they'd put elementary on all year and leave middle on traditional, etc. as a 'test'. It was a lousy set up for parents with multiple kids of assorted grades. Go all or none.
