Questions concerning year-round schooling are presented and answered in this report. Following a definition of year-round education, examples of single-track and multitrack schedules are described, along with the calendar variations within them. Other issues that are addressed include holidays and intersessions, compliance with the Alberta School Act, teacher/student assignments, effects of year-round education on the instructional program, cost, and maintenance. Proponents argue that year-round education offers a stable learning environment, savings in space and the operational budget, flexibility for family vacations, improved attendance, and reduced vandalism. Arguments against implementation include a lack of evidence for achievement gains; increased planning, recordkeeping, and administration; scheduling problems; conflict with family lifestyles and extracurricular activities; and increased operational costs.
