Salt Lake district will eliminate year-round schedule

From The Salt Lake Tribune: Six elementary schools in the Salt Lake City School District are doing away with their year-round calendars. Bennion, Franklin, Meadowlark, Parkview, Rose Park and Whittier will switch to a traditional school year. The change means all elementary and secondary schools will have a common calendar, sharing start and end dates and breaks. As a result, the district estimates it will save $128,000 a year in busing costs, consolidated teacher training and other expenses.
