BCSC adopts block scheduling plan for high schools

Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. has voted to adopt block scheduling for its high schools, effective for the 2020-2021 school year.

The new type of schedule for high school students was approved Monday night by the school board.

BCSC presented its proposal for a block schedule to school board members during the board’s March 4 meeting. A block schedule means students would alternate different classes between two days with longer class periods. Teachers would also have a planning period built into the schedule each week.
