A Time and Learning Committee started the process of exploring a new schedule for CCHS in the fall of 2015. The process was detailed, comprehensive, and thorough as schedules ranging from our immediate neighbors to high-performing schools on the west coast were reviewed and examined.
In early 2016, the Time and Learning Committee made a recommendation to principal Peter Badalament to adopt a schedule that is nearly identical to the one being proposed at this time, less a few minor changes. For various reasons outlined in the included presentation, principal Badalament postponed the implementation of the recommended schedule.
A committee reconvened this fall to continue the process. The modifications made to the recommended schedule are as follows: due to busing constraints, the committee changed the late start to an early release, and the "x" block was modified from a bi-weekly meeting to a weekly meeting.
Included with this blog is a presentation that details the schedule review process, the referenced schedules, and all of the pros and trade-offs associated with the potential schedule change. With the understanding that no schedule is perfect, we remain committed, as we are now, to ensure it works for all students.
There is a meeting scheduled for tonight for all interested parents and community members who wish to review and discuss the potential block schedule change. The meeting will take place at the high school at 7:00pm. We look forward to highlighting the proposed schedule and answering any questions or concerns you may have.
