The biggest changes are that school starts four weeks earlier and there's a two week break in the fall. In temrs of getting new students and volunteers, this would mean that recruitment has to start earlier. For mentors and mentees that are already matched, I do not see Track E as a major inconvenience. At Cabrini Connections, our tutoring calendar mimics the traditional CPS school year, but any pair can arrange to meet at any time, in our center or off-site, separate from regular Wednesday or Thursday night tutoring. I assume we will stick with our current schedule for awhile given the majority of schools still operate on a traditional schedule. More than 100 CPS school have applied to switch to Track E scheduling, though, so as more and more of them get approved (they find out in February), we may have to consider starting earlier.
