WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. By John F. Bailey May 22, 2003: The City School District will not sacrifice any White Plains High School programs, according to Superintendent of Schools Timothy Connors, stating unequivocably that no courses, activities or "electives" would be trimmed from the high school schedule, as has been rumored across the high school.
Speaking to WPCNR at Wednesday evening's School Budget Public Hearing, Connors said that the district will "work things out" with teachers and staff to assure no opportunities, subjects, activities will be cut as a result of the vote of the White Plains Teachers Association that defeated a proposal to return to a 9-period school day.
A majority of teachers had voted to expand the day to 9 periods, as the school day was previously before the current high school renovation begain in the year 2003. Now complete, the City School District had sought approval of the Teachers Union, as required by the teachers' contract to expand to a nine period day. Though the majority favored the proposal, it did not reach 80%, the required percentage of approval required for a change in working conditions.
