The scheduling for the school district’s developmental days was readjusted for the 2005-06 school year. In the past, the training days were scheduled for a few hours at the beginning or end of school day, resulting in a shortened schedule for students. This year, the programs have been combined to fill an entire day’s schedule, giving students an entire day off. According to Anita Banach, Director of Communications and Marketing for the school district, an effort has been made to schedule developmental days near weekends or holidays to extend time off.
Developmental days are days when community school teachers and instructors participate in training programs or planning sessions.
