I have two kids who went from first through sixth grade on multi track. They loved it, I loved it, their grades were much better, there was no lag, they didn't get bored during the summer and I really hope Douglas doesn't change it.

Having spent many years as a principal of two multi-track schools, I can tell you there is no advantage for children on a year-round calendar. It disrupts families, is more expensive to operate and is a nightmare to manage. It stultifies teachers' creativity and should be abandoned at the first opportunity.

My children attend a single-track year-round school. I think it is important to distinguish between traditional track, single track year-round and multi-track year round. I think single track year-round is the best option.

Douglas County should re-evaluate multi track. It should be discontinued. The only way to do this is to have year-round school but not multi-track. That will utilize the facilities and that will give the people enough time off to do what they have to do.

I think definitely multi-track should be reevaluated. I worked under multi- track for many years. We're on a singe track now but there's a lot of confusion and a lot of disruption within. Multi-track definitely should be reevaluated and to my knowledge, teachers in Douglas County who are involved in it now are not very happy at all. Morale is low.
