Construction (OPSC) in the Department of General Services functions as staff to the SAB. Information regarding the allocation of Proposition 1D for K–12 schools can be accessed on the OPSC Web site at http://www.opsc.dgs.ca.gov. The higher education funds are administered by the California Community College, California State University, and University of California systems. Local School Bonds Prior to the enactment of Proposition 39 on November 7, 1999, local school bonds had to be approved by two-thirds of a district’s voters. Proposition 39 added the ability of districts to also seek local voter approval of 55 percent of the district’s voters. Since the enactment of Proposition 39, the voters in school districts have approved over $15.62 billion in local school bonds. Of this amount, $10.18 billion was approved under the 55 percent vote requirements. For more information regarding school facilities, contact the School Facilities Planning Division, at (916) 322-2470. Additional information is also available on the School Facility Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/fa/sf. 120
Year-Round Education As of October 2005, 19 percent of kindergarten through grade twelve public school students were attending 1,430 schools that operated year-round schedules in 156 school districts. The effect, in terms of new school construction dollars saved as a result of multitrack, year-round education operation, is impressive. If 20 percent of the 700,141 multitrack, year-round education students are housed in excess of capacity at their school sites, then more than $2.2 billion in construction costs is avoided by the state and local school districts. Year-round education is an alternative way to construct the school calendar. Both traditional and year-round school calendars have approximately 180 days of instruction, or the same number of instructional minutes, but year-round calendars spread instructional and vacation periods throughout the year. For example, the most typical instructional/vacation year-round pattern is called the “60/20 calendar,” 60 days of instruction followed by 20 days of vacation, repeated three times during the school year. Year-round education can be single-track or multitrack. A single-track, year-round calendar simply changes the instructional/vacation sequence of the school year. All the students and staff are in school or on vacation at the same time. But a multitrack, yearround calendar does something quite different. It divides the entire student body and staff into four or five different tracks. A school using a four-track system has, at any one time, three of the four tracks attending school while the fourth track is on vacation. When the fourth track of students returns from vacation, another track leaves. Thus, the student population rotates in and out of school, one track replacing another on vacation, which allows the enrollment of the school to exceed its capacity. It is possible to have a three-track, multitrack, year-round education calendar, called a Concept 6 calendar. Because this calendar has only 163 instructional days per year, schools presently using Concept 6 have until 2012 to find alternative ways to house students in excess of capacity. Schools not using Concept 6 calendars cannot adopt this calendar. Possible advantages associated with single-track, year-round education include its potential to (1) improve academic achievement by eliminating summer regression; (2) relieve teacher and student burnout; (3) provide new opportunities for teacher training; and (4) offer frequent remedial and enrichment programs during intersessions. However, as administrators try to achieve these potential benefits, they are faced with a number of challenges. For example, coordinating family vacations, maintaining full extracurricular and athletic programs, and lengthening the instructional year require sophisticated and sensitive planning. 121
