My Senior High Schooler brought that up ... I don't know... It would take community involvement somehow to make it work....

Take the local pool as one example(one common summer job that my son actually worked). If "school" overlaps alot of the "pool" season, but they are on Tracks, you have some kids (Track A) that are free ALL DAY for about two week, then in school for a while, then Track B that are free all day, then in school, etc. So if you hire lifeguards from each track, and have them work all day every day for their "off track" and then just evening for their on track, it works. Our pool had 10 or 12 lifeguards that they hired and rotated schedules. It's HARDER since you have think more about hiring 3 "A" lifeguards and 3"B" lifeguards, etc rather than hiring 12 lifeguards....

I think something similar could work at the grocery store or other common summer jobs. It's actually even better at something like the grocery store since you could have your "A track" Bagger working days for two weeks or whatever every 6 weeks or so the whole year..... (i.e. there would be kids available to work days year round, rather than JUST in the summer). BUT again, you'd need to have a few "A track" Baggers and "B track baggers" etc....

It's much harder for summer jobs like "Mow lawns" or things like that.... I don't know how you would make that work....

BUT ... I'd love to know how/if areas that do have year round school have made that work? Or if it simply doesn't work.
