Teachers must teach at least one intersession course a year.

Hopewell is now considering making the intersession programs mandatory for students who are furthest behind.

This year, only 20% to 25% of students participated in at least one intersession class.

During intersession weeks, students can choose to come to school and work on credit retrieval or take classes in subjects like financial literacy, job skills and music history.
