The high school’s pilot Fixed Laker Block schedule for 2025-2026 relies on a Flex sign‑up/attendance system that students and staff describe as confusing, capacity‑limited, and hard to use for scheduling and attendance. In the “Next Steps” section, administration states that over the summer they will either “fix the tweaks or explore other platforms/ways for students to sign up for Laker Block so that attendance is more accurate,” suggesting the current tool may be replaced or substantially reconfigured. This indicates an active planning phase for a student scheduling/appointment platform that better supports multi‑teacher sign‑ups, clearer attendance tracking, and easier use by substitutes and CTE students.Vendors offering flex period, RTI/MTSS, advisory, or e‑hall pass/scheduling tools can engage now to understand requirements such as multi‑location visits in a single block, comment fields for academic prioritization, better capacity controls, and tighter attendance workflows ahead of full 2026‑2027 implementation of the schedule.

Pain points include inability to sign up after 9 am, limited capacity, lack of communication between advisory and requested teachers, and difficulty for subs taking attendance.
