Last night the school board approved to help our large freshman numbers. We will either hire someone part time to teach a section of Comm 9 OR I'll teach a 'skinny' (since we're on block scheduling we have four 90 minute periods a day. Classes that used to last a semester under our old 'traditional' schedule were reduced to one quarter. A year long class was reduced to a semester. However, for some classes, like band and choir, this system is not ideal. So 'skinnies' were created. These are 45 minute or half block classes that run all year. So a 'skinny' will be a 45 minute class that runs all year). I may end up teaching a skinny for half my prep for first quarter. I guess essentially I'll have an overload. Or half an overload. I will get to teach lit, which I haven't done all year really, so that would be a nice addition.
I'm just surprised the school board did anything to help us out. Progress. Maybe.
