6. 4 x 4 Schedule Update Calendar

7. 4 x 4 Schedule Update Budget Reduction Strategies
Furloughs and reduction of calendar days – going to an 8 period day will affect the number of bank days
Transportation efficiencies – We will need to look at bus routes to ensure all students arrive at the building by 8:45 and how a 3:50 dismissal time affects buses where middle and high school students ride together.
