[quote=Anonymous]So these are the feasible options I see:

1) Schools do regular 7-period schedule with a double period of math, leaving one elective per kid (foreign language or band or something else, must pick one) and no electives for immersion kids or MYP IB schools (only "elective" spot must go to foreign language)
2) Schools do block schedule with double math (i.e. math every day), leaving two elective spots for regular kids and one for kids at MYP IB schools with mandatory FL and zero for immersion kids who take double FL
3) Schools drop to a 6 period schedule with 60 minutes daily for all courses-- leaving one elective per kid (foreign language or band or something else, must pick one) and no electives for immersion kids or MYP IB schools (elective spot goes to foreign language)
4) Schools figure out some way to have kids take double math only a couple days a week, perhaps dropping gym down to 3 days a week or having double math one semester and gym the other (if MSDE okays it as averaging out to 300 minutes over the year), or doing something similar with electives so that kids get 1.5 elective spots rather than 1 
5). Schools get MSDE permission to count some really disconnected stuff into their weekly math, like converting basically all of advisory/homeroom into a math into something mathy in huge groups, or spending 15 minutes every day in science class doing something mathy enough to count as math
