Marion County Public School Board Members have endorsed a year-round schooling calendar for the 2024-2025 academic year, starting early for Wyomina Park Elementary School in Ocala. Under this program, the school year will be divided into three trimesters, with teachers returning on July 15 and students resuming classes on July 22. The initiative aims to mitigate learning loss by providing shorter breaks throughout the year, combating the traditional “summer slide” phenomenon. While some parents express concerns about the changes, others, like Jill Weller, see the benefits, especially for families with children in different schooling systems.
