Often students want to take art but can not because of other requirements or conflicts with time in the schedule (example class only offered during the required math. If you take language and music no space left.) Are there ways we can address that both in the master schedule, and in how we offer our classes?  Ideas...time shifting staffing, multiple levels in the same media at the same time.

Brain storming right?
