More schools moved to balanced calendar with shorter summers, more breaks

Lauren Casey & Suzanna Couch:

Perry Meridian Middle School student Trevor Russell will head back to his Indianapolis education facility on Tuesday - what many consider the middle of summer - but he's excited.

He gets to see friends sooner. He's going to have more breaks throughout the year. And he thinks he might start the semester remembering more from last year.

"I think most of my friends are excited too," Trevor said. "We usually get bored by the end of summer break because it is so long, so now we get to see each other more during the year."
