A Professional Study Day community forum meeting is to be held at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in the media center on Jan. 9 at 3:15 p.m.
The meeting is meant to get feedback from the community on whether PSDs should continue and what people think of them. It will explain what the days are and what purpose it has to students. PSDs have to be approved for the following year in order to continue.
The meeting’s agenda will include an explanation for the days followed up by a presentation of ballots for PSDs and concluding with community feedback in a questions and answer format.
PSDs are when students get to leave school at 11:40 a.m. instead of 2:40 p.m. This year there are four PSDs distributed throughout the year whereas previously there was one every month in the 2021-2022 school year. Students are meant to use the time out of school to catch up on their school work and study, while teachers meet and discuss lesson plans and curriculum.
The meeting will be used to determine what to do with PSDs and acknowledge what community members think of it.
