Liberty County Schools will start reviewing the benefits and challenges of block scheduling versus traditional scheduling for the next school year.Susan Avant, the Liberty County School System’s assistant superintendent for teaching and learning, informed Board of Education members at their work session Jan. 26, “There are some challenges that we’re facing so we wanted to do some discussion, some further investigation to see if some of the challenges that we face would be better addressed with one type of scheduling or the other.” Avant said that stakeholder meetings with school counselors, teachers and school administrators from Bradwell Institute, Liberty County High School and the Liberty Career and College Academy are being conducted to evaluate which schedule is best for students. Areas of focus within the discussions will include: graduation requirements, student achievement, the Georgia Milestone Assessment System and special education.
