Mandate a year-round academic schedule in elementary schools with a majority of students on free or reduced lunch plans.

Though educational researchers disagree on many topics, the one issue on which they seem to concur is the damage of the traditional nine-month academic schedule to students of low incomes. While summer break is often advantageous to students of high incomes, with the funds to enjoy academic enhancement programs, children unable to afford these opportunities are being disadvantaged. Unfortunately, one's income often correlates to the level of academic exploration within one's home. The most common year-round schedule is a system breaking up 180 days in a 45 days on, 15 days off system. Thus, utilizing the traditional number of days, but increasing consistency. This change will only take place in schools where a majority of students are classified as "low-income."
