During this school year, in- structors visited schools where the flexible scheduling is a reality and will participate in workshops next year to study the problems of flexible scheduling.

Each student will be programmed into classes, which will have a variation of time. Classes and lunch periods will vary from day to day for each student, but the program will be the same each week.
