The School Committee voted at their last meeting to start rotating the elementary tiers beginning in the 2016-17 school year. The rotations would be for a two year period. The vote was based on the current 4-Tier System and they agreed to revisit this plan if they were able to move to a 3-Tier system in the future to accommodate a later start time at the high school.
For now, this is what the 3rd or 4th tiers (the elementary tiers) would look like over the next ten years. Currently, the third tier starts at 8:25 for the JFK & Hansen and the fourth tier begins at 8:55 for the Luce (8:45 for St. John). This assumes the high school and middle school remaining in the first two tiers. Next year (2015-16) will be a continuation of the current system.
2015-16 JFK & Hansen (3rd Tier)
Luce & St. John (4th Tier)
2016-17 Luce & JFK (3rd Tier)
Hansen & St. John (4th Tier)
2017-18 Luce & JFK (3rd Tier)
Hansen & St. John (4th Tier)
2018-19 Luce & Hansen (3rd Tier)
JFK & St. John (4th Tier)
2019-20 Luce & Hansen (3rd Tier)
JFK & St. John (4th Tier)
2020-21 JFK & Hansen (3rd Tier)
Luce & St. John (4th Tier)
2021-22 JFK & Hansen (3rd Tier)
Luce & St. John (4th Tier)
2022-23 JFK & Luce (3rd Tier)
Hansen & St. John (4th Tier)
2023-24 JFK & Luce (3rd Tier)
Hansen & St. John (4th Tier)
2024-25 Hansen & Luce (3rd Tier)
JFK & St. John (4th Tier)
Again, this is based on the current 4-Tier System. If the School Committee were to move to a 3-Tier System to accommodate a later start time for the high school, they would revisit this rotation schedule.
