Parent urges alternatives to all‑day intensive classes for middle school students
Summary
A Brooksville parent told the board her sixth grader in intensive reading and math had no electives or gym, urged the district to consider scheduling changes for students (particularly those with ADHD), and thanked teachers.
During citizen input, Kimberly Mulroney of Brooksville described her sixth‑grade daughter's schedule dominated by intensive reading and math with no electives or gym periods. Mulroney said this is particularly difficult for a child with ADHD and suggested options such as scheduling intensive classes three days a week and allowing electives or gym on other days to provide needed breaks.
Mulroney said she was hopeful the student could test out of intensive placement by December (PM2) but asked the district to consider alternative scheduling to support students’ mental and physical needs. Boardmembers thanked the speaker; no immediate schedule changes were announced.
