EDUCATION CODE

SECTION 37600

37600. It is the intent and purpose of the Legislature in enacting
this chapter to authorize public school districts of any type or
class to establish, maintain, and operate their educational program
under a continuous school program, to be conducted throughout the
entire school year.
The Legislature is especially concerned and aware of the mounting
costs of acquisition and construction of school sites and facilities,
and is, therefore, desirous of providing a procedure whereby those
fiscal burdens may be reduced by increased utilization of existing
plants and facilities.
The Legislature is also interested in providing for the
replacement of the present system of lengthy summer vacations with
shorter periodic vacation periods, which will result in a reduction
of the student's summer vacation "learning loss."
