    This document outlines an altered 5x5 block schedule for a school. It includes time allotments for each class period, lunch periods, and class changes. There are four lunch periods instead of the typical maximum of three. This schedule loses some instructional time per class but adds remediation time. While it has some downsides like inconsistent third period lengths, it is the only official schedule that contains 10 class periods, allowing students more opportunities to take required classes and advanced courses.

    Cons: (1) Loss of 8 minutes of instructional time per class [8*180 = 24 hours a year] (2) Loss of 1 minute of class change time (3) 3rd periods are still unstandardized No other school block schedule has four lunch periods (at max 3) In summary, a 5X5 can only exist in the time frames that it does now. This is due to lunch periods. Gains: (1) Daily addition of 30 minutes of specialized remediation [30*180 = 90 hours a year] (2) The only official schedule type that contains 10 periods is the 5X5 schedule. While other 10 credit systems exist, like the flexible module schedule, these are often confusing, and always require school days longer than those authorized and affordable by the BOE. (3) 10 credit scheduling allows for more opportunities to "pass" core classes. This type of scheduling also provides more opportunities for honors and AP classes in a student's schedule.
