11) Discussion and Vote to Return to Semester from
Trimester at High School Campus. -- approved, following
a committee study (& CHS Principal Jon Coleman's recommedation) on the pros
& cons of the current trimesters (& 5 periods per day) system at CHS,
it was determined in the best interest of the students and teachers to return
to semesters. Some of the trimester drawbacks cited were difficult transfer situations;
many seniors needing only English 4 credit to graduate in the final months; many
wanting to graduate early without the benefit of a 4th year of maturity; students
could fail 6 classes and still graduate ... "may have set bar too low"
... need to get students more college ready to reduce remedial courses in college
freshman year; more EOI testing; teachers have less total classroom time with
students; shared coaches between mddle school & HS which were on different
schedules. The tri system also did not provide the extent of new electives hoped
for when started in 2006 under CHS
Principal Cory Slagle. Proposed new schedule would have 6 period days with
M-T-W & Friday normal but Thursday taking 5 minutes from each period for "TAF"
session to reduce classroom interruptions for class meeting, assemblies etc. and
for a teacher advisory time to meet with the same set of students for all four
years. Minumum credits to graduate (which is now 27) would come down 1 per year
until at 24. There would also be a 7:15am zero hour as needed.
