    The Shared Decision Making Committee at Great Neck South High School is making recommendations to improve the consistency of the school's schedule change process. They suggest informing students that acceptable reasons for requesting a schedule change include issues with a prior teacher, lunch periods, errors in the schedule, course/level changes, too many study halls, or IEP changes. The committee also recommends addressing requests to change morning/afternoon classes or having fallback options during spring scheduling meetings. They note students should not change schedules due to teacher preference alone but consistency between teachers should still be improved.
