Fortuna High Changes Schedule

Fortuna, California

The schedule change is this year, in 2017. The students of the Fortuna High started school this year earlier. They decided that the first day of the semester started at the 14th August.

A lot of people have different opinions about the schedule change.

The teacher, Amy Conley thinks very positive about it because the finals, which are very important for the students, are before the winter break. That means that the students can relax in their vacation and have not to study in it.

Another positive aspect is that there is more time to prepare because of the early start  and there also is an early end. The students get graduedet on June 1st.
Amy Conley said, “School should be about preparing kids, this schedule prepares kids better.”

Also there are a few negative things. For example that the elementary school doesn’t change. Fortuna High was the only school that changed. So families which have children who go on different schools started different too.

Tia Graham, the student of the Fortuna High, said it was really negative for her. Her summer break was two weeks shorter. Most of students think the same.

But the decision was clear, 80% of the teachers wanted the schedule.
