I thought this was already resolved last year. Guess not.

61 schools on CCSD

The Clark County School District released a list of 61 schools Tuesday that
could be rezoned or switched to a year-round schedule next year.
All of the schools on the so-called “watch list” are elementary
schools.

According to a press release from CCSD, not all of the schools on the list
will be changed during the 2015-16 school year, but each of them will be
examined by district leaders.
Educators have made similar changes to other schools in the past in an
effort to curb overcrowding in the nation's fifth largest school district.
Officials will make their decision by February.

Are people opposed to it?

I did year round schooling in elementary (Utah) and liked it. Logical choice to service more students using existing infrastructure.

Going to school during the hottest time of year...doesn't sound like fun to me.

It also makes summer family trips harder to plan.

My wife has done 12-month and said if anything it's worse.

From what I have been reading, this seems to be the biggest complaint.

CCSD has no choice, too many kids and not enough classrooms/teachers. It seems only Elementary Schools will be affected.

What areas of the valley are most affected? I could google the location of each school but...

Since it is so hot, students are actually better off in school. It's too hot to play outside during the day in the summer time.

Why?

As a classroom teacher, I thought it was better for the students. They got regular breaks throughout the year and a two to three week break before the new school year begins. They retain far more and there is a lot less review at the beginning of the school year.

As a teacher, I didn't care for it. I prefer summer break.

I don't see why. Every child gets at least one break during the summer. I liked it when my children were in school because we could plan family vacations during the off season and save quite a bit of money.

I think a lot of people don't like the fact that they have to pay a babysitter during those hours. School is their de-facto babysitter.

It allows the schools to carry a 25% over student capacity without portables or building a new school.

I, personally, think it is better for the community and the students.

De-facto babysitter, that' sums it up too.
