[quote=Anonymous][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]

Monday morning quarterback. This Harry Hughes is a horrible person and worst leader. His job was to coach a brand new principal. If Harry was on his job, these changes would have been made back in March. HE IS THE ONE THAT APPROVES THE SCHEDULE. He should also be held accountable for ALL that took place at Hardy this year. He gets paid well over 200K to monitor his assigned schools. This guy is a joke. [/quote]
