The major complaint of parents is that the family would be attending during different periods of the year. Large families they fear, would always have some youngsters in school, some on vacation. Other objections come from women teacher's who dont want to work during the summer. Business management consultant Eldon R. Cox, who has advocated the plan for Utah, says its a flexible program1.

Advocates of an extended school year say It would enable and increase d teachers to stay in their profession d. their income by an appetizing At the same time, school boards could effect a continuing personnel program. Now, every year school officials must start fresh with teacher recruiting programs, salary negotiations and lengthy contract signing sessions. Its a costly competent people to the teaching profession. Mr. Cox points out that capital expenditures for new schools and equipment are estimated to be $30 or $40 million a year In Utah.
