The full story

Terry presented a draft master schedule for the proposed intermediate building that keeps elementary trimesters and assigns students to two-teacher teams. In the draft model, the day would include a 20-minute Trojan Family Time (TFT) for community building, a 40-minute combined lunch and recess and two 30-minute encore segments (with 3 minutes passing) or longer rotating encore blocks; Terry summarized: "the school day would start at 08:03 and dismiss it 02:55."
