Frustrated with the limitations of the current seven-period day, FHS Principal Gary Martin plans to propose a new type of block scheduling for next year a chedule that could increase the number of credits students receive and lead to increased graduation requirements. “We’re going do a block schedule of some sort (next year),” said Martin. Teachers at Flathead are required, by contract, to be at the school for five periods a day in addition to a planning period. This year, half the teachers are here the first period of the day and the other half are here the last period of the day. “If we’re going to have school,” said Vice Principal Gene Boyle, “Let’s have it so everybody is here all of the time.” |
