[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain how shift scheduling would work?
Also can we look at maybe doing something strange with the calendar to try to accommodate more students?  Or if amazon or apple doesn't work out redoing an office building?[/quote]

It could work a whole lot of ways depending on how they want to do it. For instance, you could break up the student body into two shifts, one running from 6 am-12:30 pm (if you also add in block scheduling to reduce transition time, you can get the school day down to 6.5 hours) and another running from 1:30 pm-8 pm. Extracurriculars would run at different times of the day and kids could apply for a lottery for the different schedules based on their extracurricular or other scheduling considerations. Another way is to extend the school day to nine hours, 8 am-5 pm, and then break the kids into four groups that rotate through three weeks at school and then one week off, so that only 75% of the student body is going to school any given week.[/quote]

OK, Libby.

Is that how you want your kids to get an education?[/quote]

I believe that Libby has grandkids in APS. I assume she believes they would not be subject to shift scheduling or an amenity-free HS. Nobody would choose either for their own families. [/quote]
