Acting on instructions from the Cranston School Committee, a committee comprised of educational professional staff, community leaders, citizens, and students was organized to consider the methods and feasibility of year-round schools. The year round concept and its application in various plans throughout the country was the subject of investigation by the committee for two years. This report to the community, school department, and elected officials of Cranston presents the progress, findings, and conclusions of Project Pacesetter from its inception to the present stage of its development. The report presents information on curriculum; the proposed model; cost analysis; and the results of surveys of teachers, students, citizens, and business and recreation segments of the community. The information provided in this report should be of significant value to those who intend to plan a year-round school program, and to the citizens of any community who must consider seriously whether this is an alternative they would like to use for their school system.
