Schools plan to boost math and activity at Highlands Junior School
The board considers widening math instruction from 90 minutes to an eight period day with two back to back math blocks and two language arts periods. TAKS math pass rate for eighth-graders was 68 percent last year. The proposal also adds four physical education semesters, reduces computer literacy, and increases daily activity amid rising obesity concerns.
