Principal Stacey Fager handed USD 257 board members a plan for returning Iola High School to a seven-period day at their meeting Monday evening.
For years Iola High School has had block scheduling, which features four 90-minute periods a day in which subjects are taught every other day.
Administrators think a subject taught five days a week will enhance learning. A disadvantage of the change will be students will have fewer electives from which to choose.
With seven periods, the school day would go from 8 a.m. to 3:21 p.m. and classes would last about 48 minutes.
