UPDATE from The Los Angeles Times: The California legislature may deliver relief to hundreds of Chino Unified district students facing 34 extra days of school because of an administrative snafu.

From The Los Angeles Times: Because of an administrative snafu, hundreds of children enrolled at two elementary schools in the Chino (Calif.) Unified School District must make up 34 days of school this summer. The complexities of state law and a clerical error on a spreadsheet mean that the district will lose more than $7 million in state funds if classes end before July 31 for the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders at Rolling Ridge Elementary in Chino Hills and Dickson Elementary in Chino.
