Master scheduling is an endeavor which overlaps many different worlds within a district. By approaching the work through a systems-based lens, agents are able to better understand how these different worlds impact, and are impacted by, master scheduling. Emphasis in creating the master schedule is given to student need and voice, incorporating Advanced Searches and ready-made reports and features in eSchooPlus/HAC/TAC. Work is shepherded by detailed timelines and supported through various Google-based tools.
