This will allow all Union teachers to engage in a 45 minute collaboration time with their peers to have an ongoing discussion of best practices in the classroom. The classroom teacher is the most influential part of the educational experience, so it is critical that teachers study and share the methods and techniques that are most effective. Since the traditional school day requires teachers to supervise students continually, delaying the start of school each Friday will allow them to capture time to work together before students arrive. -- official message on the district website
