SHAC endorses sharing PE schedule survey results with campus principals ahead of June 30 master-schedule deadline

A Conroe ISD SHAC physical education committee urged staff to share district survey results with campus principals so schools can make informed decisions before master schedules are due June 30.

The committee’s executive summary reports that district respondents preferred the 135-minute weekly schedule over a 30-minute daily schedule; on a 1-to-5 scale the daily option averaged 2.8 and the weekly option 4.1. The subcommittee recommended that principals review the survey and coordinate with campus scheduling teams when deciding which statutory option to use.

"We got a response from 264 educators, so about 86% response, which is really, really good," the committee’s presenter said, summarizing the outreach to K–6 principals and PE/fine arts staff. The committee noted it omitted a 225-minute biweekly option from the survey and that the underlying requirements come from state statute. Dr. Winkler told the group that campuses may choose between the 30-minute daily baseline or alternate options but that campuses selecting 135 minutes weekly must document and justify why they could not meet the 30-minute daily baseline. "The master schedules are due June 30," a member said, emphasizing the timeline.

The committee proposed, and SHAC members agreed, to have district staff (Dr. Winkler) distribute the executive summary to principals and encourage campus-level discussion rather than issuing a single districtwide mandate. One SHAC member noted the group lacked a quorum for a formal vote but said sharing the results for information and collaboration was appropriate.

No formal SHAC motion to change district practice was made; the action was informational: distribute the summary to principals, encourage campus discussion, and advise campuses that alternate scheduling choices must be justified per statute when departing from the 30-minute daily baseline.

The physical education committee said principals should use the survey data alongside campus master-schedule planning and that the district will monitor master-schedule submissions after the June 30 deadline.
