St. Paul Public Schools Extended Learning Programs: Evaluation Report (1997)

In 1995, the Minnesota Legislature provided funding for year-round schools and extended day, week and year programming. Such programs are viewed as a way to increase student achievement, skills, and self-confidence through more flexible use of learning time. In March of 1996, the Saint Paul Public School district enlisted the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement to conduct an evaluation of its extended day, week and year programs.
