(KNZA)--The Hiawatha Board of Education has agreed to consider a possible change to the PLC late start.
The Board decided Monday evening to put the issue on their July meeting agenda.
That came after district parent Marcy Gruber presented a petition containing 140 signatures to the Board asking that they consider a change. Gruber told the Board the one-hour Wednesday late starts are an inconvenience for parents. She had also appealed to the Board in May to make a change.
The late starts, currently on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, allows teachers a time to meet together in what's known as professional learning communities to collaborate on ways to improve student learning.
Superintendent Penny Hargrove says input with be sought from teachers and administrators.
