According to Wikipedia:

Year-Round School is the scheduling of educational institutions

so that students take class throughout the entire calendar year.

Types of YRS

-The most popular example of year round education is the 45-15 plan.

This has students attending school 45 days and then getting three weeks (15 days) off. The normal breaks (holiday, spring) are still built into this calendar.

-60-20 plan

-90-30 plan

-Track Systems:

-Single Track System: involves an entire school using the same calendar and getting the same holidays off.

-Multiple Track System: has groups of students attending school at different times with different vacations. Multi-tracking usually occurs because it is a way for school districts to save money.
