Hall Co. high schools could move to hybrid schedule

GAINESVILLE - Hall County high schools could see an adjustment in the seven-period days that were implemented with the current school year, according to information presented to the Hall County School Board Monday evening.

Superintendent Will Schofield said that the seven-period day has worked well, but teachers have told administrators they often need more time with students.

"The teachers have started to think they that if we blocked classes a couple of days per week to give them extended periods of time to get done with lab activities or long essay assignments that we could make even better use of our time," said Schofield.

Schofield said administrators have been looking for a couple of months now at a hybrid schedule that would lengthen classes two days per week.

He said any proposed changes will go before the school board for a vote in February.
