High School Committee

with emphasis on Improvement of Ninth Grade Instruction.

Committee members will look at the structure of our current high school program with emphasis on improving the success of 9 th graders including courses open to 9 th graders, the possibility of the “school within a school” concept, teaming 9 th graders, etc. The committee will study the impact of block scheduling since its inception in 1995 and will recommend a schedule for AISD high schools which will maximize our staff and resources while maintaining the strong instructional program of the district.
