District’s high level of cost/ineffectively operated secondary school course sections were attributable to the organization’s low critical student mass. Over time, the Project Consultants concluded the cost/ineffectiveness of Weyerhaeuser Area School District’s Secondary School class section sizes will further, uncontrollably, worsen. 4.3 Senior High School Credit Course Offerings The School District of Bruce—during the 2008-09 school year—operated an eight period schedule with a period length of 46 minutes and passing periods of 4 minutes. School hours extended from 8:20 a.m. through 3:20 p.m. Course offerings were typically designed on a semester or year-long basis. The Project Consultants examined the School District of Bruce’s Course Description, 2008-2009 to ascertain course offerings which would be made available to grade 9-12 students in Bruce High School during the 2008-09 organizational year. Table 12-B reports that Bruce High School made available 70.5 credit course offerings to high school students in grades 9-12 during the 2008-09 school year. Course offerings spanned 12 disciplines: agriculture; art; business education/computer; English; family and consumer science; mathematics; music; physical education and health; science; social studies; technology education; and world languages. High school students were afforded the broadest arrays of credit course offerings in the following disciplines: technology education (11.5 credits); mathematics (8.0); agriculture (7.0); business education/computer (6.5); © Roger Worner Associates, Inc. 91
and science (6.0). The smallest arrays of high school credit course offerings were made available to grade 9-12 students enrolled in Bruce High School in the following subject-matter disciplines during the 2008-09 school year: physical education and health (2.0 credits); music (2.5); world languages (4.0); and social studies (4.0).
