I agree this is an important issue. A longer school year would provide for additional professional development and collaboration, additional instructional time which could be targeted to students who need it most, and higher teacher salaries.
One very thoughtful proposal about longer school year can be found at: http://www.edvoice.net/schoolyear.html. There is also a link to an excellent OpEd written by Ted Mitchell, President of Occidental College titled, "Make Teaching a 12-Month Job."
