Developing a Master Schedule  Building and planning the master schedule for the following school year is a difficult and complex task. Situations may occur requiring a change to that schedule, however these alterations have a serious effect on class size, teacher assignments, and the overall schedule, therefore these changes are made sparingly. The student and parent are strongly encouraged NOT to plan a course load with the idea that it can be adjusted at a later time. 9/3/2015 3
