The school board will vote on Feb. 13 on whether or not to move forward with the 4-day plan.
The first polled parents based on initial reactions of the 4-day instructional week. The results showed almost 47% would be in favor, roughly a third of participants were against it, and almost 20% answered maybe.
This time, 57% of parents voted in favor of the 4-day instructional week, 22% answered no, and 20% said maybe.”I’m for it. I know some of the challenges the district was having with retention. Being out here some of the teachers that don’t live in town, they have to commute. It makes it a lot easier on them. As a parent, having an extra day with the kids at home I think is great,” Altamirano said.
Dr. Helen Whisenhunt, the chief instructional officer for the district, presented the information to the board. She said the district is working with the local YMCA to help with child care for working parents, along with transportation and meals.
