Recently rumors have been flying around the school about Seaman’s secondary schools switching away from a block schedule next year.
Needless to say, most students and teachers aren’t in favor of this change in the schedule.
“Although it’s nice to see all of my students on Viking days, I feel like we accomplish more on block days and are able to go more in depth in our learning,” french teacher Sean Riley explains.
The reason these rumors have been flying around is because most of the elective teachers at Seaman Middle School and a few elective teachers at Seaman High School are currently teaching six out of seven class periods. According to Seaman High Principal, Ron Vinduska, their contract states that they are guaranteed 40 minutes of plan time every day, so creative planning has prevented them from violating their contract.
No decisions have been made for other changes in the 2015-16 school year.
“At this time we aren’t planning any schedule changes for next year,” said Principal Ron Vinduska.
