Such unprecedented enrollment growth presented challenges for the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) . Enrollment outpaced new school construction and led to overcrowding.  \nIn addition to constructing mobile classrooms, the district began to operate overcrowded schools on the multi-track year-round (MTYR) calendar. Unlike the traditional calendar in which students have a summer break, schools on the MTYR calendar operate throughout the calendar year including the summer months. How is this possible? Every student at a MTYR school is assigned to one of four tracks. Each track takes turns “tracked out” or on break. Therefore, students  \non three tracks attend school at any given time during the academic year while students on the other track are tracked out. Thus, a MTYR school effectively increases its capacity (the number of students a school can serve) by 25% compared to the same school operating on a traditional calendar. The MTYR calendar is a clever way to address overcrowding when the construction of new school buildings is infeasible (e.g., costly and timeintensive) and facility space is fixed.  \nAs shown in Figure 1, enrollment in WCPSS continued to climb during the next decade and peaked at nearly 162,000 students in the 2019-20 academic year. Enrollment followed national trends and fell following the COVID-19 pandemic but appears to be rebounding as evidenced by the enrollment growth of about 1,600 students between 2022-23 and 2023-24.  \nWake County Public School System | Data, Research, and Accountability/School Choice Planning and Assignment Departments 2  \nMulti-Track Year-Round Schools, Facility Utilization, and Student Achievement  \nIntroduction  \nAlthough overall district enrollment has stabilized, enrollment patterns across schools have been uneven in recent years. Some schools have experienced overutilization, where enrollment exceeds capacity, while others face underutilization, with capacity exceeding enrollment. For this study, a school is considered overutilized if it operates at 105% or more of its capacity and underutilized if it operates at less than 95% of its capacity.  \nFigure 2 shows the prevalence of underutilization (Panel A) and overutilization (Panel B) at all WCPSS elementary and middle schools over the last decade. Panels A(i) and B(i) account for only permanent facility space (a building’s capacity minus mobile classrooms or “trailers”) while panels A(ii) and B(ii) account for  \nthe additional capacity created by mobile classrooms located on school property.  \nThe district experienced declining enrollment during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to an increase in underutilized schools. Based on permanent facility space, nearly 40% of middle and elementary schools operated at less than 95% capacity (Panel A[i]) . These numbers increased to more than 60% when mobile classrooms were included (Panel A[ii]) . Conversely, nearly 20% of elementary and middle schools operated at more than 105% capacity whe","cbCaiqlNWCkf55JO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqlNWCkf55JO","pdf",1316903,11,"English","# Introduction\n## MTYR calendar use and study questions\n# MTYR Calendars in WCPSS\n## History and expansion of year-round calendars\n## Balanced year-round structure","[{\"question\":\"Why did WCPSS adopt multi-track year-round (MTYR) calendars?\",\"answer\":\"Enrollment growth outpaced new school construction, leading to overcrowding.
