[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The additional 10 minutes is being added to lunch/recess in all elementary schools. No school is adding 10 more minutes of instructional time.

According to our ES Principal in May (at the PTA meeting), the memo she got from BOE said the 10 minutes was only to be added to lunch. The school has 6 lunch/recess periods, so the struggle on how to add 10 minutes to lunch only (not recess) was becoming an issue. We already started at 11 AM for the first lunch group and 1:30 PM for the last lunch group.

I said that the vote said "Lunch and Recess" but she again said the official direction from BOE was lunch only. I believe her.  I also don't think BOE seriously considered how this 10 minutes would impact a school with more than 4 lunch/recess periods. (From watching the discussion, they clearly didn't take it into account. They were more concerned with a "no cost" option.)

Anyway, we are done with ES now (hooray), and I haven't heard from anyone at the school to see what the lunch/recess periods will be.
