CARY – Next school year, Cary’s School District 26 hopes to bring back teachers specifically for music, art and physical education.

District officials Tuesday presented a preliminary staffing plan for next year, which includes adding 12 teachers dedicated to those subjects, and having 90-minute language-arts classes in junior high.

Under the plan, which is scheduled for a board vote in February, kindergarteners through fifth-graders will have physical education twice a week, art class once a week, and music once week. Each class would be 30 minutes.
