Staff member cleared to shift to four-day schedule to accommodate childcare

Benson County Board · August 18, 2026

Summary

A county staff member asked to return to a four-day workweek after the local public school adopted a four-day schedule; the board unanimously approved the scheduling change starting in September and emphasized staff availability for incidents.

A county staff member (S4) asked the board to allow her to return to a four-day workweek so she can care for her child on Fridays after the local public school moved to a four-day schedule.

S4 described the child-care gap and said the school’s Friday program would cost $30 per day with limited structure; she requested the board’s consideration to resume a four-day schedule beginning in September. The staff member added she would remain available by phone and coordinate coverage for incidents.

The board motioned, seconded and approved the schedule change. No formal personnel policy amendments were recorded during the discussion; the action was presented as an administrative scheduling accommodation.

S4: ‘‘I can start on September to help Shelley.’’
