Board approves extending trial and launching survey on 4- vs 5-day school week
Summary
Trustees voted to extend the trial period and distribute a simple Google survey asking families whether they prefer a 4-day (Mon'Thu) or 5-day week, with an added question about which school the respondent's children attend.
Superintendent (speaker 3) introduced a brief survey for families (Google form) to collect preferences on a four-day versus five-day school week; the form asks which option a respondent prefers and allows an optional explanation for their choice.
Trustee (speaker 8) moved to extend the trial period on the four-vs-five-day question and launch the survey with a single addition suggested by trustees: ask which school the respondent's children attend. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Trustees discussed breaking out responses by school or residence to better understand community impacts.
The superintendent noted prior attempts to implement a four-day week were not universally popular; the survey is intended to gather up-to-date family preferences before any policy change.
