After an advisory committee studied the SHS/SRTC schedule for over a year, the Sanford School Committee voted on November 21st to institute a five-block schedule to begin in the 2023-2024 school year.
This includes freshmen teaming/seminar, AP classes every other day, and electives for all students of all levels, including enrichments.
Work is underway to implement these changes. Specific information will be shared later this winter prior to course selection.
