Slight time schedule change for Butler schools next year...

In an effort to accommodate some emerging factors that affect our students, a start time adjustment of 20 minutes was proposed at the high school campus. This will move the start time at the high school from 8:10 to 7:50 and the end time from 3:17 to 2:55. The elementary school will see little to no change. The mitigating factors that are new to our district include a new athletic and academic conference that has added several schools requiring substantial travel time. An earlier school dismissal means a decrease in instances requiring students to be pulled out of their final class period to board a bus for an activity trip, thus protecting hours of instructional time. Our vocational technical students have seen a change in their schedule at the Nevada campus. Butler’s time shift will not only accommodate our obligation to provide lunch for these students but also guarantee they receive the full curriculum our tuition is paying for. Several alternatives were explored before deciding on this small time adjustment.

This new schedule will go into effect for the 2011-2012 school year.
