HEADLINE: FUNDING FOR LONGER SCHOOL DAY; YEAR OK'D
BYLINE: CHRISTOPHER MUMMA, Staff Writer
BODY:
One of U.S~ Rep. Robert G. 10rricelli's pet prOjec(s,.lengtbening the school day and year,
got a boost Friday when the House of Representa{ives passed an $11 billion' federal education'
btll thatjn<.:luded a .$ 90 million provision for that purpose.

"*
The bill. whicb prin:larily provides aid t'or elementary and secondary schools, DOW goes to
the Senate for tinal congressional approval. If i(s passed by the Senate and President
ClinJi.lO signs it into law, the $ 90 million wil.l be used fordemonstration grants for'
se~ondary school.s [hat opt to extend the school year.
.
TOl'ricelli, D-Englewood, has been trying with little success to gain support for a longer
day since 1991. But [he congressman's bid to extend the school year well into the.
~um.mer was bolstered by a May report from the National Education Commission on Time

That report !:i~lid American pLLblic schoolchildren spend, 41percenl as, much time on
,academics as students in Germany, Japan. and France, the nation's leading economic
c6mpetitors.
"Lengthening the school day and school year in the United States will allow our smdents
to compete'on equal footing with their counterparts in other countries," Torricelli said in a
,-:;talemerH. "We're cramming a lot more onto the plate of the typical student and teacher',
Insread of llleecing this increased demand with a longer $<.:11001 day, we've squeezed the
'
traditional schedule, to the detriment of core curriculumclasses."
The commission's repnrt noted that the average school year of 180 days remains one of the
shortest among industiialized nations, which generally adhere to 190- fO 240-day schedules,
'fhe specifics of the current $ 90 million provision were not available Friday, but earlier
legislation Torricelli hasintioduced called for money to be provided to schools that would
extend the schonl year to at least 200 days and the school day to ftC least seven hours. , '

The pn;grams 'would then be studied to determine the relationship between time in school
and pc~fo['mance on international assessment tests.
