Elementary district to continue blended day model

Citing a need for continuity of schedules to ease families’ 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, it’d work against teachers’ goals to diagnose students’ 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.
