001and to order at this time and this is a legal for formality that we have to accommodate this is the second public hearing we've had on this change to the hours that kids come to school and I'm going to turn time over to miss Courtney for that good evening so yes this is our second public hearing to approve the instructional time model this is something that is required through this through the State of Arizona and what this is just we talked about this at the last meeting but this is just um when a student is remote learning alternative hours this just explains what is our option and when we say we I just want to make sure I clarify again Dr Wright clarified this at the last meeting this is not there is no change
002coming to our hours of instruction as far as our regular hours of instruction I think people hear when we're talking about instructional time model they panic and think back to covid and what we're not making any changes this is something that is more related to this isn't really to inclement weather we've had a couple of issues with our water lines breaking and we've had to send kids home for that so that's what this is this information is really covering one of the questions that came up at the last meeting was how will students so sixth grade and under we talked about the students in elementary school they'll receive packets on days such as that when we have inclement weather days or a school closure an unexpected School closure they can get packets that they can
003complete either while they're home or when they come back and that will count towards attendance for students when they're out at the junior high through High School level we'll have assignments posted online that students can access there will be some students who don't have access to online and so it'll be open for them to submit those assignments when they reach turn to school as well and that can count for attendance for those students as well and what that helps us with is to make sure that we don't have that we can still count those days as instructional days instead of having to call them as a snow day and use those against us do you have any questions about the the proposed instructional time model at this time great thank you so much for your
004time good no I don't I don't have any questions sorry I have a hard time doing two things at the same time how about Chuck Margaret you have any questions in regarding that yes but it counts keeps us from having to uh extend the school year right right so there is we are we are working on a place on our website so there is a we added a school closure assignments link all the teachers we upload all the assignments now anyways for a curriculum this would be an assignment that would be uploaded specifically if we needed it for a school closure and so we'll be adding some assignments to that as we as we get closer to those inclement weather days thank you all right so we have complied legally with the change there's no
005further questions or anything we'll call this public key hearing over any questions or comments thank you
