Last month Cook County Schools ISD166 held five information meetings throughout the county on possible adoption of a 4-day school week. Join Jay Andersen and Barbara Jean Johnson as they discuss a 4-day schedule with District Superintendent Beth Schwarz, School Board Chair Bill Huggins, School Board member Rod Wannebo and teachers Jane Gellner and Betsy Jorgenson.

 

Currently there are four Minnesota school districts with a 4-day week. It’s estimated that by next year there will be at least ten. Neighboring Lake Superior School District just voted to go to a 4-day schedule in the fall for Two Harbors and Silver Bay schools.
