7 Period A/B Block

A 7 period academic year allows for students to take one additonal class. There were several parameters that we had to consider when creating a schedule:

1) 8:20 am start and 3:20 pm end due to bus schedules

2) We must have 2 lunches

3) The only early release day for staff collaboration could be Wednesday.

4) We were told to keep finals days at the end of each semester

5) Must meet state minimum annual instructional minutes

*Staff Presentation for 2/21 MOU

February 21, 2024

The Block/Flex Committee presented a 7 Period A/B Block MOU at a staff meeting on February 21, 2024. Voting took place from 2/21-2/26 and 66% of staff voted in favor of the MOU. Unfortunately, based on LEA MOU bylaws a MOU requires 80%. Above is the slide show presented to staff on February 21st.

Post MOU Survey Results

Post MOU Survey

The Block/Flex Committee surveyed the staff after the MOU to help gain insight on the concerns our staff members had about the schedule change and to gage what aspects of the schedule they favored.

Relfection

Of those who voted "no" the chart on the right reflects a desire of staff to know more about: A-G courses and impact on student schedules, the structure and function of Ignite, and the MOU Block renewal. There were also specific requests from both "yes' and "no" voters for professional development and teaching block.
