* Bands 4, 5, and 6 are forty-minute bands programmable for Lunch, Advisory, DEAR and Electives.

***Please notice this is exactly what we would be voting on if we accept the new SBO schedule change. 12 mins more at the end of the day on MON, TUES, WED, and THURS....and an hour early dismissal on Friday. There are no overlapping periods!!!! The name of the course in each time slot (DEAR, ADVISORY, ELECTIVE, BASKET WEAVING, LUNCH, MATH, HISTORY, or PROJECT LEARN) is not up for a vote.

WE as UFT members are only voting on the time structure. "Passing time" although a valid concern is not what this vote is about. We have the ability to affect START TIME and END TIME (when it changes fromo the UFT contract) .

I think we need to be clear on what we are deciding.

We have the opportunity to have a much smoother programed school.

Please leave your comments here. Rememebr we are not talking about more DEAR, more ADVISORY or more CONTENT AREA "seat time", just a smoother non-overlapping schedule for our school.
