A message from Mr. Graham 11-16-20

Dear BEA Community:
At their meeting on Thursday, October 12, the Board passed the elimination of mid-term and final exams at the MS/HS for the 2020-21 school year.  Each nine weeks will be worth 25 percent of the student's grade for this school year.
Additionally, the Board passed giving teachers up to 20 hours of planning time using 2 hour delays, beginning in December.  Tentatively, there will be one delay in December, two each in January through April, and one in May.  
Currently, we are working on adding these to the calendar and a revised calendar with these 2 hour delays will be emailed to you prior to Thanksgiving vacation and there will be a link on our Facebook and webpage.
Thank you for your continued support.  Our teachers greatly appreciate this opportunity to have some additional time to do instructional planning during the school day.
Sincerely,
Scott V. Graham
Superintendent
