Budget sending FHS to 6-period dayfrom 4x4 to straight 6

Fife High School is moving from a Four-period day to a Six-period day.
Fife has for a long time had 4 ninety minute classes per day.
Students take four classes a semester.

I taught at Fife High 2005-2006.
The schedule worked well for math but in 2006-2007 the math scheduling was far less effective due to the intrusion of the WASL Math prep classes and WASL math scores plummeted in spring 2007.

Here is the Superintendent's letter about budget reductions forcing changes.
