More teacher development time proposed in Urbana

URBANA – Representatives from elementary schools around Urbana met Tuesday night with the Urbana school board to propose adding several hours of teacher development time to the calendar every year – and taking that time away from teaching students.

They suggest increasing the teacher development days from six half-day sessions – currently early dismissal days for students – to six full-day sessions, a measure that would need state as well as school board approval.
