Member Concerns/ Comments – 

  • Teachers love the new 1 hour planning time 
  • Parents hate getting out later
  • Hard on teachers because contract hours end at 4, after duty they don’t have anytime to do what they need to.
    • Contract hours – 8:05 – 4:05
  • Parents want to know what teachers are doing during their extra hour of planning time, is this worth the extra time at the end of school.
    • Teachers –  1 day is PLCs
      • 1 day is team planning time
      • This gives them the opportunity to work at school and not have to work at home. 
    • Explanation to the community about what it is being used for.
