Solution for schools: Year-round scheduling

Lake Washington School District (LWSD) has started a public forum for discussing how to handle overcrowding in our schools. Before we moved to Redmond, my family lived in a number of states due to military duty. Colorado Springs used a year-round school schedule to reduce overcrowding in its schools. In a nutshell, our school facilities sit idle for approximately 12 weeks during the summer break. Year-round scheduling utilizes that 12-week break by implementing multi-track schedules. So the facility can work year round, and handle an increase in student throughput.
