“Boston school officials and union leaders have announced that an additional 40 minutes will be added to the school day in the city’s elementary and middle schools. The agreement will allow 60 schools, or about 23,000 students, to have longer school days. In addition, teachers will get twice as much planning and development time.According to Boston Teacher’s Union President Richard Stutman, the extra time will benefit under-served subjects such as art, music, drama, and foreign language.”(more)
