A variety of subjects were covered at the April meeting of the trustees of the Preston School District.
Julie Johnson asked the trustees to consider a trimester schedule, citing higher testing scores in schools that use the schedule. She attributed the higher scores to teachers having more teaching time.
Stormy Hines, who teaches English at Preston Junior High, supported the discussion, saying that she taught on the trimester schedule in Pocatello, before coming to Preston.

District trustees took Johnsonâs suggestions under advisement and asked the district superintendent to look into the subject further.
The trustees then approved the purchase of new textbooks for CTE and Spanish courses in the district. Each core subject at the district is up for new textbooks every seven years.
