| 1. | 2/5/2008 3:36:00 PM | I'm not opposed to alternative scheduling, however I forsee difficulties especially at the high school level with extra curriculars. I would be supportive of year round school with more frequent breaks during the year. |
| 2. | 2/5/2008 2:08:00 PM | Very important, but let's use our resources wisely. We need to make sure core areas can implement ideas and beliefs before we create new programs to implement same beliefs in other areas. |
| 3. | 2/5/2008 4:08:00 PM | This could help us keep our progressive edge. |
| 4. | 2/5/2008 4:58:00 PM | I agree that older students would probably function better with a later start and year round school would be a better use of our buildings. These are things to consider, but not rush into. |
| 5. | 2/5/2008 6:53:00 PM | I am in favor of year round school. |
| 6. | 2/5/2008 9:28:00 PM | At the elementary level, we need consitant, yet appropriate schedules! it is extremely difficult to meet the needs of all students, as well as the curriculum expectations when each day the schedule for when students go to reading support or special education. It is also important that schedules are similar across buildings so that curriculum is being taught appropriately and equally. |
| 7. | 2/5/2008 11:03:00 PM | It's time to evaluate the 10 day schedule. |
| 8. | 2/6/2008 3:05:00 AM | Common planning time...PLEASE!!! I have had none for the last 4 years with my teaching partner!!! This is so important, but not done in my building! I'd also like to see a weekly schedule revisited. The 10-day is fine, but still confusing. |
| 9. | 2/6/2008 3:07:00 AM | Although it is not my top priority, I can see it being very beneficial to explore. |
| 10. | 2/14/2008 9:52:00 PM | I understand the incredible amount of work that went into creating the 10-day schedule. However, rotating schedules for 'specials' teachers are incredibly difficult. Students need to remember to bring materials to school on an alternating schedule - asking elementary students to keep track is very difficult.
I don't know if it's possible to change, but my job is very difficult. |
