Washoe Co. School Board Puts Off Year-Round Conversion To 2017-18

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports Brown, Double Diamond, Maxwell and Sepulveda elementary schools will stay on a nine-month class schedule next school year.

To fit in all the students, kindergarten through second-grade teachers and their classes are expected to have to share classroom space.
