What is a Multi-Track Schedule?
A multi-track schedule is a specific type of year-round schooling in which students and teachers are placed in “tracks” of the same size
Students and teachers on the same “track” follow the same schedule
This schedule works out so different “tracks” are alternating being on break and being in school
(St. Gerard, 2007) (edweek.org)

Pros to year-round school schedule
Children on year-round schedules tend to retain more information from one session to the next without need to review
Year-round schooling also boosts academic performance for students with learning disadvantages because frequent breaks allow time for them to review and acquire the help they may need
(Anderson, 2007) (St. Gerard, 2007) (edweek.org)

Cons to year-round schooling
Without a full summer break, teachers have to adjust to a small amount of preparation time for the next school year.
Year-round schooling conflicts with family life
Summer learning children experience is hindered
Constant breaks serve as a problem to prepare students for state mandated tests

Legislation in North Carolina
In North Carolina, the Wake City County district are planning for an explosion in the amount of students expected to move to this location
Year-round schooling would help solve this problem by alternating school and breaks by putting different students and teachers on “tracks.”
Problems arise when year-round schooling is mandated

Conclusion Past is always a the best predictor for
the future! With that said, more and more districts
around the U.S. are going to implement year-round schooling schedules based on the benefits and the growing amount of districts switching to year-round schooling
