Board discusses possible four-day school week as staffing strategy
Summary
Board members discussed a potential shift to a four-day school week to attract staff and support PBIS, while noting the need to prioritize student learning and resolve meal availability and community input issues.
Board Chair Korinn Hockett and Superintendent Aaron Miller raised the topic of a four-day school week during the board timeline and calendar discussion on Dec. 15 as a possible strategy to attract staff and allow teachers to engage in PBIS work. Hockett emphasized reporting accomplishments to the community; Miller cautioned that student learning must remain the priority if any schedule change is considered.
Members noted that the community would need to be involved and that availability of school breakfast and lunch would have to be addressed if the district adopted a four-day week. The discussion remained exploratory; no motion was made and no vote recorded. The minutes indicate the timeline review and newsletter continuation will continue as part of ongoing community engagement.
