Public Forums for 4-Day School Week Begin Thursday

The volunteer task force assigned to investigate the potential impact of a four-day week is expected to present its findings during a school board workshop in March.

But before it does, the task force wants to hear from you.

Three public forums will be held this month for those who wish to give their input on the proposed four-day school week.

• 6:30 p.m. Feb. 9 at Pasco Middle School
• 6:30 p.m. Feb. 15 at Rushe Middle School
• 6:30 p.m. Feb. 16 at River Ridge Performing Arts Center

"Stakeholders are encouraged to attend in order to learn more about the district’s ongoing budget crisis and to share their views about the possible implementation of this cost-saving measure," a press release from the district stated.

The March workshop will not be open to the public, therefore all who are interested in having their say must attend one of the public forums.
