QUESTION OF THE DAY: Would a four-day school week work with your family’s schedule?

The Southern Boone Board of Education in Ashland is wrestling with whether to make a big change to the rhythm of life in the small community.

For now, the board has put off a decision on whether to change from a traditional five-day school week to a four-day cycle.

Some school districts have seen success in making the change. They say it has helped them attract and keep better talent while saving money. Hallsville voters first decided to make the switch in 2022. They reaffirmed that decision with a big majority this year.

The idea has also worked in bigger districts. Voters in Independence just approved keeping the four-day week.

Would the four-day school week work with your family's schedule? Let us know by voting in the poll.
