School Beat: Report on 4 Period Day to be presented at June Evansville School Board Meeting

(Ed. Note: This is taken --without editing----from the Administrator's corner of the Evansville School web site. )

Conduct an evaluation of the High School Block Schedule for its: Impact on student learning, costs over/under a traditional schedule. Present results and recommendation to board
Jamie Gillespie/ Heidi Carvin


Include staff, board and community members. Aim for completion by April 1, 2007.

Timeline to be submitted by HS by October.

It took several months to find a consultant to help with the process, so we are two months behind schedule. We have met with Kathryn Richardson twice. Kathryn is a CESA #5 consultant who did a similar study at Lafollette high school. Staff, student, parent surveys and interviews will be held between now and March. Any recommendations developed through this process would take effect no earlier than the 2008-09 school year. The report on this year’s work should be ready for the June board meeting.

    I am curious as to what parents they talked to? I have not talked to anyone yet who was approached about this. Could this ' list' of parents have been ' selected' ? . Why are we once again paying someone for their opinion? Where did this money come from to pay this person, the cookie jar?
