District launches trimester audit; staff to recommend options after data review
Summary
Staff is auditing the current trimester schedule to determine if it meets student needs; Ms. Lillie is collecting data and will propose options, noting a semester switch would be a temporary disruption and trimesters were adopted in 2013 to increase course access.
Ms. Lillie (staff member) reported that the district is conducting a trimester audit to evaluate whether the current schedule meets student needs. She is collecting and analyzing data on the pros and cons of the trimester calendar and will propose options to the board.
Staff noted that switching to a semester schedule would cause temporary disruption; the original move to trimesters in 2013 aimed to allow students to take more classes (about 15 per year rather than 12) and increase AP options. No final recommendation was made at the Sept. 25 meeting.
