[CASL-L] Cohort Block Schedule and Book Checkout?

[Erin Madeira]

I proposed the idea of seeing the same classes for at least a week at a
time to my administration today.  They wondered how districts were getting
around the PE requirements.   I couldn't find anything online requiring PE
each week, I could only find a recommendation.

If your district is doing this kind of schedule to reduce exposureto
cohorts, is PE included in the rotation?

Thanks,
Erin
