Port Orford-Langlois board discusses possibility of a four-day school week, highlights concerns
Summary
Board members discussed switching to a four-day school week to help recruit staff and strengthen PBIS, but flagged concerns about student learning continuity, breakfast/lunch availability and community involvement; no decision was made.
During the board timeline review on Dec. 15, members discussed the potential benefits and tradeoffs of moving to a four-day school week. Proponents said a shorter week could help attract and retain staff and provide time for positive-behavior supports (PBIS); Superintendent Aaron Miller and Chair Korinn Hockett emphasized the community would need to be involved and that student learning must be the primary consideration.
The board also noted operational considerations such as continuity of school breakfast and lunch services and the need to engage community stakeholders before pursuing any schedule change. No timeline or formal vote was taken; the idea remains under district discussion and would require community outreach and further study before any formal action.
