Four Day School Weeks

Four Day School Weeks

I was hunting around for a possible job closer to home, and I ran into a very interesting discussion on the Horseshoe Bend School District website about saving money and improving education by doing school four days a week. It seems that a lot of rural districts have tried this already, and at least according to the presentation, have not only saved money, but improved learning and reduced absenteeism (for both students and teachers).

I don't know if there is any merit to this or not, but I thought that I would pass it on as a sign that someone in our rural school district isn't sitting around waiting for money to fall from heaven.
