Citing a need for continuity of schedules to ease familiesâ schedules as well as logistical issues a full-time on-campus schedule would create, the Galt Joint Union Elementary School District (GJUESD) Board of Trustees voted to continue the am./p.m. blended instructional model through the end of the school year.
Among the reasons promoting the current part-time on campus school schedule, the board noted that if it were to increase class size and change schedules, itâd work against teachersâ goals to diagnose studentsâ needs and support them quickly and accordingly.
They also noted that the current blended a.m./p.m. model provides academic acceleration due to a smaller student to teacher ratio. The current model provides 2.5 hours of uninterrupted time with smaller class sizes, which has given teachers more opportunities to meet and exceed learning targets.

But the majority of kids in the district Black, brown, Asian, homeless kids living at the poverty line or below are not so lucky.
