Curriculum Coordinator for Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools, Jason Urban, presented a plan to place all four district junior high schools on the same schedule.  Urban has been meeting with building administrators and teachers for several months.  He presented a proposed scheduling plan, but emphasized that may be tweaked before it is finalized.  The plan should be complete by March of this year.  For a look at Jason Urban’s presentation to the school board Wednesday night, use this link.

In another matter before the board, students taking physical education (PE) in summer school will see their fees raised from$160 to $180 this year.  The program has been running a deficit of about $14,000 as of 2024.  The fee increase will not totally cover the deficit, but will reduce the amount to under $2,000.  There was some discussion that there may be fewer families choosing PE in the summer now that the PE requirements are changing with the new state rules on graduation credits needed.
