[quote=Anonymous]Another ex-principal problem solved. Email from Mr. Hughes:

"On April 28th, Principal Johnson announced that Hardy would adopt a new academic schedule next year; however, after his transition, it became evident that he did not engage the teachers around the change. Therefore, I engaged in conversations with the Washington Teacher’s Union (WTU) Representative Mr. Wheat and the School Chapter Advisory Committee (SCAC), a group of teachers elected by their peers, about next year’s schedule. A survey was sent to all teachers, and I facilitated two meetings with the Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) (May 30th and June 6th) which focused on next year’s schedule. Based on the feedback gathered, Hardy will have an A/B block schedule in which students will take seven academic classes as well as one advisory over a two-day period.

The NEW schedule has many improvements over the current academic schedule including:

• Increases the number of academic classes a student will take.

• Increases the number of elective offerings available to students.

• Maintains a longer, uninterrupted planning block for teacher preparation.

• Decreases the frequency of advisory each week and the total number of advisory minutes each year.

• Decreases core class sizes (since more sections of a class will be taught, the class size will naturally be smaller).

• Decreases elective class sizes (since more electives and more sections will be offered, the class size will naturally be smaller).

• Decreases the number of minutes of each class."[/quote]
