In approximately 16 states, public school districts have chosen to go with four-day weeks in an effort to cut their fuel costs.

It didn’t go anywhere. We think this idea is going to continue to garner interest. We expect it will be back next year in the legislative session. We’re going to discuss it with the state board of education when they have their next meeting in the first week of August.” State Sen. Scott Rupp, R-Wentzville, who is a member of the Senate’s Education Committee, is willing to consider a legislative change to permit four-day school weeks. “It’s something I would more than happily explore,” he said. “Local school districts would have to adopt that policy (for it to be implemented). All we as a state would be doing is giving them another tool ...
