Dear Bloomington High School North Families,

As part of a priority articulated within the MCCSC Strategic Plan, MCCSC is striving for continued improvement in our daily work with a focus on more equitable access and opportunities to programs, course offerings, and experiences. Recently, administration identified disparities and biases that occur because our current high school schedules are not aligned. For example, some high schools are on semesters, and some are on trimesters.

Therefore, we have begun an investigative process to determine how to align our secondary schedules across the district for greater equity and improved continuity. Currently, we are conducting a comprehensive review of student performance data and national research on high school schedules to understand more completely the impact our current schedules have on student academic outcomes, particularly, our historically and systemically marginalized populations.

At this point in time, NO formal schedule has been designed. However, we will utilize student feedback, family engagement, and meaningful discussion with our teacher’s union to inform our work. Ultimately, this will result in the creation of a new MCCSC high school common schedule for the 2024-2025 school year.

More details will be forthcoming, including additional opportunities for engagement. In the meantime, if you have any comments, suggestions, or concerns, do not hesitate to share them with me by selecting “complete the form” within this post.
