To support this effort, The Foundation asked RAND to conduct a study to assess the need for summer learning programs and the existing evidence on effective, viable, and sustainable programs in urban districts. In particular, we recommend: * Conduct randomized controlled trials of programs designed to maximize attendance that compare treated to nontreated students over multiple years. * Conduct studies that include multiple outcomes beyond academic performance: secondary academic outcomes, such as school attendance and graduation rates, and nonacademic outcomes, such as reductions in juvenile delinquency, improved nutrition, and increases in exercise. Including a range of outcomes will help motivate other stakeholders, such as city governments, to support or fund summer learning programs. * Conduct studies that examine whether programs can be constructed to attract high levels of participation in multiple, consecutive years. * Conduct studies of the costeffectiveness of summer learning programs to help district leaders and other policymakers consider how best to invest in improving education.
