FB Star Covers FBISD Scheduling Controversy (Will Block Schedules Survive the Axe?)

"The superintendent said he is neither “favorable or unfavorable to either block or traditional scheduling. That’s not the issue. It’s common resources, equity and so on. If the recommendation were to go to block with all high schools, that requires significant lead time and training, so we needed to have that information as soon as possible so we could set up a training program and provide for the changes it would take to teach in that schedule.” FB Star


FBW comment:

Why would administration officials be using the equity issue to possibly remove block scheduling from an east FBISD high school? Isn't this the area they should be concerned with bringing these resources to? We will update this as information is made available.
