If this is successful, we might also consider doing something similar at the beginning of the school year as a way of creating a positive climate/team building atmosphere among staff, students, community, etc.  There's no reason why we have to limit this to only once a year. It could be useful halfway through year to recharge our batteries, and do it again in May was a way to celebrate the year as we move then into graduation season.

Since the basic idea stems from reinventing high school, and if we truly want to give intersession weight, then let's embrace it fully -- make it a mini-semester that earns pass/fail credit.  End first semester before Dec. vacation, run second semester from early Jan. through AP exams, then have the mini-semester (with academic courses both in and beyond the regular curriculum as well as "passions" and fun stuff) for the last 2 weeks of May and the first week of June.

Can we gain back some class time to compensate? (maybe take away some AFTS) Can it be one day (the AFT day) this year and plan better for next year? Maybe two sessions for the two remaining HAFT days?

Concerns: Last time, the spirit and intent of intersession as an alternative learning opportunity was defeated by dozens of students being allowed to go on a ski junket to their condos at Sugarloaf.  Please, if we are serious about doing this right, then it's only right that we do it seriously.
