P1226 GUIDELINES FOR SCHEDULING CLASSES

BOARD POLICY:

Middle and high school principals are responsible for developing master schedules which meet the needs of pupils, describe the enrollment opportunities, and indicate teacher assignments.

Administrative Implemental Procedures:

1.      Pupils are scheduled into classes according to their individual needs and preference—not into classes solely by grade designation.

2.      The master schedule shall be printed clearly and placed in the Faculty Handbook:

a.       Name of school, school year, principal, and assistant principal(s), and time schedule

b.      Teachers’ assignment showing classes, room number, and planning period. 

3.      The high school and middle school Program of Studies shall be followed in regard to the exact naming, numbering, and grade levels at which the courses are offered.

4.      Any school offering a course not listed in the Program of Studies must first gain approval for this course through the appropriate assistant superintendent in collaboration with Learning Services. That office will approve the exact name, title, abbreviation, course description, and cause a number to be assigned to the course.
