Two different approaches to cost analysis (cross-sectional analysis and mock-school analysis) both indicate savings under the 45-15 year round school plan used in Loudoun County, Virginia. These methods of cost analysis were used to compare traditional school schedules with 45-15. One middle school and three elementary schools in Loudoun County functioned under a 45-15 plan for two years until new school construction could alleviate overcrowding. This report contains the results of the financial evaluation of that year-round plan, including an analysis of start-up costs. The analysis of cost-effectiveness revealed that savings are likely to be higher in 45-15 middle schools than at the elementary level. The major cost saving was in imputed rent (the translation of capital costs into the same framework as operating expenses). The magnitude of capital cost savings is related to the greater utilization of building space in the 45-15 plan. This report also reviews other 45-15 cost studies conducted for other school districts. In general, the findings of relative cost savings under 45-15 in the other studies is consistent with those reported for Loudoun County. (Author/DS) |
