Faculty support for year-round school proposal decreases
By REAGON CLAMON
Reporter of THE BATTALION
A new year-round school pro
gram being considered by Bryan
Independent School district may
die an early death if the faculty
has anything to say about it, said
some Bryan elementary school
teachers.
The program, which will have
participating students going to
school for five terms —each about
six weeks long —broken up by
two to three week vacations, is to
be presented to teachers by a
school district committee on Nov.
1. If there is enough faculty sup
port, the committee will then pre
sent the program to parents.
Patty Caperton and Karen
Alderete, both first grade teachers
at Milam elementary school, don't
believe it will make it that far.
"If it's up to the teachers, it will
not go through," Alderete said,
"I think everybody has about the
same opinion about it."
Both teachers believe that
Bryan faculty will have too many
reservations to totally agree to the
program.
"It might lead to academic
achievement, but I have too many
concerns," Alderete said. "I go to
graduate school, and I wouldn't
be able to do that."
Alderete said most teachers
need the three month break that
the traditional school calendar al
lows.
"Teaching is very demanding,"
she said. "A lot of teachers enjoy
that large block of time."
Caperton said, with an all year
colander, parents would have
trouble finding day care for their
children during the two-week va
cations. Most day care facilities
aren't prepared for a large
amount of children during the fall
and spring.
"Finding year-round day care
will be a problem," Caperton
said. "I think the school will
probably have to take care of it."
Caperton said, even with their
concerns, teachers would still
agree to the program if research
proved the program caused sig
nificant gains in academic
achievement.
The switch to year-round
school would be a sacrifice,
Suzanne Phelps, director of com
munity and government relations
for BISD said, but one worth it.
"This will be a lifestyle change
for parents and teachers," Phelps
said. "Breaking up their schedule
won't be easy."
Phelps said the new calendar
would allow students to spend
their summers more productively.
"Most parents work on a 12

month job and can't decide to stay
with their kids for the summer,"
Phelps said. "The summer is usu
ally not a positive experience for
these children."
Phelps said if the presentation
was successful with the faculty
and the parents, a pilot program
would be started in one of the
Bryan schools.
The students going to the pilot
school whose parents didn't agree
to the new program, would have
to be bussed to another school.
The committee recommended
that all the alternative calendar
students and teachers be put in
their own building because it
would be more cost effective and
less confusing. Phelps said the
program being tested in its own
building would prevent any new
costs, except for the extra utilities
of keeping the building operating
year-round.
An all-year school calendar
would cause problems for the spe
cial education program, said
Loretta Krueger, a preschool spe
cial education teacher at Milam el
ementary.
The Milam special education
program sends therapists
schools all over BISD and woi
be responsible for sendingthi
pists to the pilot school program
"There would be schedul
problems sending therapists
different schools all year
Krueger said. "Wehaveahn
time finding enough therapist
it is."
Krueger had one suggestions
the school board committee,
"If they do it, then everyboj
needs to do it," she said. 'Tie
would solve the schedulingpni
lem."
