Improve the quality of the education of Albemarle County Public Schools - Repeal Semesterized Instruction
Substantial and qualitative academic research has demonstrated that, contrary to the claims made by the administration, semesterized instruction compromises students’ ability to learn, diminishes teachers’ ability to instruct, and jeopardizes students’ college opportunities.
The County’s much vaunted goal of world-class education will not be achieved by implementing a policy that has been demonstrably unsuccessful and which has been rescinded in other jurisdictions. Our community does not support a school system that sacrifices the quality of the instruction students receive, and we shall not waver in our determination to see this issue through.
CASE - Citizens of Albemarle Supporting Education - Our mission is to repeal the practice of compressing year-long courses into a one semester format because it is detrimental to our children's educational experience.

ACPS needs to stop experimenting on our kids. go back to what actually works.
My son is drowning in his math class because of this schedule. It is way too much info to cram into half a year.
The pace is impossible. half the year is review and the other half is rushing to finish content. Fix it.
what a joke. they clearly don't care about what the parents or teachers have to say.
so happy to see people finally speaking up about this. the quality of education has really gone down since they switched.
