That is when they will do their first half of the year tenured teachers to slip them in unnoticed. So if his tenure won't take place until January why grant it to him now ? Jumping the gun as usual BOE.

last nights board meeting had some heated discussions about the board moving the start times for the high school to 8am. what better to teach a kid to get up early for school . the start time at 7:10am was good for high school students. it teachers then discipline. what employer is going to give the ok for a new hire to come to work an hour later because you are too tired in the morning to perform your duties. None !!!! teach them while they are young. the start times now aren't broken so why change it and fix it???? bad decisions after another have been displayed and demonstrated by the board if education. the one of many was the hiring of an associate principal. leave the start times the way they are now!!

Research has proven that teens need to get more sleep. I applaud the BOE for looking to be proactive. Studies have proven that later start times leads to higher achieving students.

I think this whole time change will back fire not only on the Board but on th ewhole district as well. Kids need to be taught responsibity and not catered to. If i told my boss to change my work start time to an hour later, he would tell me there's the door, you're fired ! what is this teaching the kids ?

I have a Freshman and over 4 years that means 4 less electives on their transcripts! So when these kids graduate and are competing against other school graduates they will have 4 less electives on their resumes! WHB and EP still have a 9 period day so that's one more reason for EM students not to choose CM!
If sleeping in is their only reason than they really need to keep it the way it is!
You can make a bet that if McHeffey still had his children in HS school it never would have been an option! He was very rude and they have no intention of keeping the 9 periods. You would think Finnegan and Vitale would dissagree because it will hurt their kids!

Then why are the keeping Middle school a 10 period day? ?? How come the HS kids can't keep first period as a band and chorus period?

They don't have enough balls to go up against McHeffey. But 2 individuals in the audience did. Platt was told she was out of line by Mcheffey when she said that this change will hurt the students. and that they were simply catering to the lazy kids in the school. Something doesn't seem right with this change.
