Academy School District 20 announced they were canceling high school classes for Friday after nearly 30% of their high school teachers "called out sick" in protest after a proposal to change high school teachers' schedules.
D20 operates on an eight-period block schedule over two days, with each period lasting 90 minutes.
The new schedule would change the full-time teaching load as teaching from five-point-five of the eight periods to six of the eight periods which teachers say would take away their planning period and add more classes without extra pay.
