Paying for Longer School Days and Years
With new research and examples of how increased learning time can yield better outcomes, more schools are looking to join the 1,500 that have gone down that path. But how to pay for it? This brief identifies five district schools that answer key questions: 1). How much do schools pay for expanded time, specifically how much per hour and per student? 2). How are costs allocated across categories of school expenditures? 3). What are key sources of funding to cover each model? 4). What are the benefits for teaching and learning? (National Center for Time and Learning and The Wallace Foundation)

Years ago and more recently in my book "Principles For Principals" I have advocated for a longer day and school-year. We still follow the agricultural needs of having the summer off for kids to help with the farm work as was necessary years ago. Times have changed, needs have changed but the school year has remained the same.
