The Year-Round Option
The CoViD-19 Pandemic
has exacerbated challenges
in literacy,
numeracy,
and
school attendance.
To Address these issues,
we propose
The Option
of
A Year-Round
Schooling Schedule
education model
and PE twice daily,
outdoors whenever possible,
morning and afternoon,
and aided with city funding.
By increasing
total yearly class time
by 30%
beyond
yearly state mandates,
we can capture all available
state funding per student.
This approach provides
additional time
during longer summer days
to focus on improving
reading, writing, math skills,
and to address truancy.
We hope you check out
the proposed calendar.
We trust principals
and teachers
in adapting the use
and we have details
regardinng hours of instruction
per teacher,
based upon a principle
of 5 hours of teaching a day,
which is a lot of focus and attention,
mean two shifts of teaching
overlapped at lunch.
The 400 maximum student model
(and even smaller) schools
improve
graduation and career success.
State funding models
fail cities like
San Francisco
and only
the municipality
can correct this
with city funding.
kids come first.
