RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SCHOOL DAY SCHEDULE TASK FORCE <br />TO THE ORONO BOARD OF EDUCATION <br />1. Of immediate concern is a combination of elementary and high school students <br />on the same bus. The Task Force highly encourages the Board to address this <br />issue this school year (1988-89). <br />2. It is recommended that the School Board explore other transportation grade <br />configurations and to plan bus routes differently but efficiently within <br />limitations. <br />3. If possible, there should be no mix of students on a bus, e.g. elementary <br />with high school; middle school with high school; etc. If this is not <br />possible, then the concept of monitors on busses should be explored. <br />4. The school day schedule should be established with the high school beginning <br />first, intermediate school/middle school second and elementary third. <br />5. Any schedule changes for next year should not negatively impact teacher pre­ <br />paration time nor extend their supervisory duties. <br />6. Any schedule changes must be established in a timely fashion so the com­ <br />munity can be notified of the public hearing prior to the final establish­ <br />ment of the schedule, and prior to the closing of the school year. <br />7. The Board should recieve the packet of materials provided for the task force <br />which summarized the survey results and, further, the task force encourages <br />the Board to pay particular attention to parent, teacher, and principal <br />comments. <br />8. The Task Force encourages the Board to continue to be sensitive to the needs <br />of families requiring day care and their need for timely notification of <br />schedule changes. <br />9. The Task Force asks that the Board encourage the highest level of safety <br />and concern for the well-being of children on the part of the transporation <br />company. <br />10. The Task Force recommends that no schedule changes take place this academic <br />year.
