WE SHOULD KNOW SOON WHICH SCHEDULE CHANGE APS IS GOING WITH FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS. JOHANNA KING WITH APS SAYS TWO OF THE THREE OPTIONS WILL HELP THE DISTRICT SAVE MONEY. AN ONLINE SURVEY FOUND DISTINCT PREFERENCES AMONG TEACHERS, STUDENTS, AND PARENTS. SHE SAYS THE 7-PERIOD SCHEDULE WAS THE FAVORITE AMONG PARENTS, WHILE STUDENTS WANTED TO KEEP THE CURRENT BLOCK SCHEDULE. SHE SAYS TEACHERS WERE SPLIT.
KING TELLS US THE 7-CLASS DAY WOULD ALLOW STUDENTS TO MEET MORE OFTEN WITH THEIR TEACHERS. SHE SAYS THEY WANT TO MAKE A DECISION ON THE CHANGE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
