7. Slidell I.S.D. DOI Background Information
First teaching Mart ISD in 1980 we had a floating schedule.
Basics of that schedule: 6 period day – classes 75 minutes – meeting 4 days each week
Mon. 5th – 2nd – 3rd – 4th – 6th
Tues. 1st - 5th – 3rd – 4th – 6
Wed. 1st – 2nd - 5th – 4th – 6th
Thurs. 1st – 2nd – 3rd - 5th –6th
Fri. 1st – 2nd – 3rd – 4th school 1:30pm
The first time this idea was floated was not a positive experience.

8. Slidell I.S.D. DOI Background Information
Staff was in favor of the “planning time” concept but preferred a much more simple concept.
The next round of discussions focused on an early release concept (greater than the 6 day current rule), but the concern then turned to the lack of consistency within the options discussed.
After repeated failures, we finally hit upon the current schedule in conjunction with our current calendar.
