If anyone else wants to send more than 5 students, they clear it with the person signed up. Our facility is a 50 x 70 room added on in 1994. Pat, we have been on block scheduling for the last four years. We are one a 7 period day. On Mondays each class meets.
Seventh period meets each day.
We are considering going to the 4x4 schedule. We have 1250 students, two full time media specialists, and one full time paraprofessional, about 80 teachers. Block scheduling definitely affects the media center, but to the positive I would say. When we opened this school five years ago it was a middle and high combined, 6-9. Mostly the middle school teachers used the media center.
