Discussion

Option 1 shows great potential, but more time and planning will be needed to properly prep for a complete overhaul of the master schedule. We will work together and form a schedule committee to assist with this project. 

Option 2 will be reviewed again to see if elementary planning can be extended and the lunch window shortened some. An emergency meeting will be called to vote between Option 2a (current proposal) and option 2b (needs to be made and presented still). Also, it's been requested to not move the Reading Mastery RTI blocks if at all possible.
