With a staggered schedule, no extra burden is placed on the teaching staff. Each faculty membermaintains his five classroom periods along with one planning period. "By even rurther extending the school day, as many as 15 may be additional teachers hired, yielding about 75 additional classrooms. This should reduce the size of many classes to that which is considered normal-one teacher for every 30 students. REACTION FAVORABLE 11 As far as the mechanics of the new schedule are concerned the reaction has generally been favorable." Mr. Bogar reports that at the present time nearly 1250 students attend the 8:00 classes. The remaining stu dents, about 1050, begin at 9: 00.
