Lockport 205 principals propose districtwide switch to an 8-period day; families urged to prepare
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Bob McBride said principals presented a proposal to move to an 8-period school day districtwide next year and warned families to expect changes to start times, lunches and course loads; the presentation will be posted on the district website.
Dr. Bob McBride said principals delivered a thorough presentation on a proposed transition to a districtwide eight-period day and that the change could affect start times, lunch schedules and students' course loads.
"You might say, great. My child gets to take an additional class next year. Super simple. Pump the brakes," McBride said, warning that the switch carries logistical implications for families. He urged parents to read forthcoming public-relations messaging and the principals' presentation so households are prepared rather than surprised in August.
McBride said the presentation given to staff and board members will be made available on the district website. He did not record a final decision or a board vote in the briefing and described the announcement as preparatory and informational.
