State May Reject Extending Year In 2 SoCal Schools
CHINO HILLS, Calif. (AP) ―
State officials have recommended that California's Board of Education reject a plan to hold an extended summer session at two elementary schools to make up for lost class time and avoid a $7 million penalty.
Chino Valley Unified School District came up with a plan to hold a 34-day summer session after realizing Rolling Ridge Elementary School in Chino Hills and Dickson Elementary School in Chino failed to meet the minimum classroom time required on Fridays for fourth through sixth graders.
The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin reports that a Department of Education staff report has recommended the board reject the district's proposal, citing low attendance during the summer session.
The board is set to meet on July 8 and 9.
