The manner proposed is a more effective way of utilizing school improvement in-service activities for the following reasons: (1) with the full day format, before school preparation time will be available for in-service thus increasing teacher learning time, (2) teacher time will be utilized more effectively by focusing learning for a full-day rather than breaking activities into two afternoon sessions, (3) students’ schedules will not be disrupted in the middle of a day for early dismissal, rather students will either be in attendance all day or absent all day, (4) it is more convenient for parents to arrange day care for full days rather than numerous early dismissals, (5) the administrative staff have found the full day format more productive than half-day. The normal process for filing any waivers or modification applications must be followed. This includes holding a public hearing, official notification to local state legislatures, and notification to the general public. We have scheduled this hearing on Monday, October 21 st during our regular board meeting.
