FALA's Instructional Time Schedule Change
Hello all.  I hope you're having nice spring weekends.  I have a couple things to catch you up on.

New Schedule

In order to minimize additional days in June due to the walk out but still maintain our instructional time requirements, we are making the following changes to the schedule for the rest of the year. These changes take effect Tuesday May 8th.

All school days (including Fridays and Finals days) start at 8:30AM and end at 3:30PM.  Zero and 5th hour remain the same.

Lunch is now only 20 minutes every day (including Fridays).   Friday Advisory stays at 40 minutes.
There will be a half day (8:30AM - 12:00PM) on Friday June 1st.

We realize that these changes will make the days tighter for all students so expect that teachers will allow for bits of breathing space during and in between classes.

Public Session re: Permanent Executive Director

On Tuesday May 8th at 5:00PM there will be a Public Session to discuss the results of the Arizona School Board Association survey pertaining to the school's needs in hiring a Permanent Executive Director.  This will take place after a similar meeting for Staff from 3:30PM - 5:00PM and prior to a Board of Directors meeting at 6:15PM.

If you would like to have input further to what you wrote in the survey, this is your opportunity. Any Board of Directors members present will be there as observers only.  

Here is a link for further information: 2018-05-08-public-notice-meeting .

As always, please let me know if you have questions or comments or concerns.

FALA Board of Directors
2018-05-08 5:00 PM Room 4 - Executive Director Community Forum Reception
The forum will discuss the findings of the Executive Director Survey.

Individual members of the FALA Board of Directors may attend a Community Forum Reception at 5:00 p.m. before the May 8, 2018 Board meeting and is expected to last approximately 60 minutes.  At this reception community members who would like to provide additional thoughts related to the e-survey may engage in conversation and may submit thoughts to the representative of the Arizona School Board Association related to the search for a new Executive Director.  

This function is not a Board meeting: Board members who attend will take no part in the discussion that occurs, will have no Board discussion, and make no decisions.
 
At the May 8,2018, FALA Board of Directors meeting the Board will be presented with and discuss a report generated from the recent e-survey related to the position of Executive Director. The May 8th Board meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:15 p.m.
