Deadlock over high school planning time in district talks
Negotiations between teachers and the district remain at a standstill over high school planning time in a seven period day proposal. The plan would cut daily planning time to 55 minutes four days a week, totaling 440 minutes over two weeks, versus 450 minutes now.
