Grades 4 – 6 Need to Rethink Special Areas
Are there other options to consider?Do we need to have PE, Art, Library, or Music? For Grades 4 – 6: Could we eliminate one
special? – (we would be in line with others for planning time)
Could we reduce the time for each special area?What are the ramifications of
reducing/eliminating a special? Are there other options to consider?
