SEC: 9-2 Schedule

[Daniel VanGesen <dgesen@SNOWFLAKE.LIB.AZ.US>]

Our district is currently examing going to a 9-2 schedule for school year
1998-1999. This is nine weeks on with two weeks off with school starting
early in August with two 9 week "quarters" completed by Winter Break.

We currently operate on a traditional seven period day with first semester
out at Winter Break and the second semester completed by Memorial Day Weekend.

I am familiar with elementary schools who use this. Are any secondary
schools? If so, what are the advantages and/or disadvantages, esepcially in
the areas of student learning/retention and scheduling.

TIA
