In this  May 21, 2010 photo, a sign along School Road marks the front of Raymore-Peculiar High School in Peculiar, Mo. About 2,500 of the Raymore-Peculiar district's 6,000 students enrolled in a free summer school program last year that combined traditional subjects with enrichment classes like music. Now, with state funding uncertain, the district will focus on about 800 students who  need to make up credits to graduate or are struggling to keep up with classmates. (AP Photo/Orlin Wagner)AP - Amber Bramble had to scramble to arrange summer plans for her 5- and 7-year-old daughters after their suburban Kansas City school district gutted its summer school program this spring.
