Novel Approaches to Relieve Overcrowding: The Effects of Concept 6 Year-Round Schools.

Herman, Joan L.

Urban Education, v26 n2 p195-213 Jul 1991

The effects and educational equity of an innovative year-round school plan, the Concept 6 calendar, were studied in 23 urban elementary schools and 2 matched comparison schools. Examination of a six-school subsample indicated that the schedule had no adverse effects, although positive effects were not readily identifiable. (SLD)
