CPA grants require that there is student purity in the academy classes.  A couple of electives are offered via academies and as a global class but for the most part, academy funding is used to support the elective and the money must only be used for the academy students per grant restrictions.

FYI for the newer WHS staff: our current block schedule was met with huge resistance. We were coming from a traditional 6 period day schedule to suddenly a 110 minute block period. The change was overwhelming, yet we did it. Be open minded about a 7 period day. Change is difficult but not impossible. Let's think about what is best for OUR students. WHS students are not AHS students. Our communities are vastly different and we need to focus on OUR student needs and wants.

While talking about lack of subs - why does PVUSD make it so difficult for subs already registered with the Santa Cruz County Office of Education to work in Pajaro Valley?  When I was a sub, the extra hoops made me question whether I wanted to sub for PVUSD at all.  I didn't for quite some time because of the redundancy.

When WHS had one of the largest elective departments in the state, the elective classes are what kept students on campus and attending school. They WANTED to go to their shop class. They WANTED to go to choir. They WANTED to go to their foods class. Often those elective teachers were the staff who were "saving" the students by counseling them to attend and be successful in all of their classes.

How do all of the teachers teach 5 periods and yet students take more classes?

2nd question
Will each period still be worth  0.2 X (our salary)?

3rd question:
Will graduation requirements remain the same? If so, will students really take more classes if they don't need to?

Flipped classroom is not a reality for the students I currently teach...many of them do not have the ability or willingness to pre-prep for a class due to lack of knowledge, family obligations, and family situations which are not conducive to learning at home.

Many students do not have much of a choice for electives. Students with IEPs in particular always have to give up their SLC elective to receive their services. If a student is trying to meet A-G requirements and need SAI they are even more limited in their choices.

If we have single subject teachers who are credentialed in that area, we will use them first without a doubt. Currently we have one section we can add to the ROP offerings - a second level of auto which is already planned for next year. Other than that we would exploit the FTEs from PVUSD. (Elaine)
