[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s very different from half day Mondays and it was Brabrand’s idea, not the school board.[/quote]

Why didn’t this occur to them when they were approving the calendar? [/quote]

Also the question I had as I listened. They set a calendar—can they just undo all that debate and change it? Adding in early releases/half days/whatever really bungles pacing for secondary teachers on block schedules. Not giving tests/big assignments on all of the O days/the day before O days is already going to limit the number of days teachers realisitically have to assign things. Adding in additional random early releases will just mess with this more. I thought one of the arguments against some of the calendar options was that it didn't provide for enough full weeks of school—this goes against that. The alternatives presented (bringing in subs like once a month for a few hours) doesnt help that continuity of instruction either. I hope they just leave it alone for now.[/quote]
