[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During the bell study, They stated that APS has fewer instructional hours than neighboring jurisdictions How much fewer? How did this come about?[/quote] Because APS has both fewer minutes per day and fewer days in school. The school board approved calendars of less than 180 days both this year and next year. Over last few years, they've continued to add days off (2 week winter break, most religious holidays, all federal holidays). But don't worry - Lexia and Dreambox will make up for less instructional time. [/quote] But they took away a week of summer break to make up for at least some of those days. 8-10 min is especially useless in middle & high school, where it would mean 2 extra minutes per class.
