The board held a public hearing on the elementary schedule. The people who addressed the board were district teachers and administrators, and they all spoke in favor of providing elementary teachers with more planning time and collaboration time. The elementary principals who commented to the board said that teachers need collaboration time to become more proficient in using technology and to learn from other teachers' expertise. Doug Messer, Director of Transportation, said that the early release days will be a challenge for busing, especially since many of the district's bus drivers have other part-time jobs or are college students, but the challenge would not be insurmountable. The board plans to discuss the elementary schedule again during a work session in February.
