Superintendent backs longer school year in Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids district leader Superintendent Dave Benson urged extending the school year and day citing international norms. He told the Downtown Cedar Rapids Rotary Club that US students attend about 180 days while top nations run 200 to 210 days, linking longer terms to higher achievement and more staff development. The district, Iowa's second largest, faces enrollment decline and rising poverty with about half of students qualifying for free or reduced meals.
