Floresville eyes four-day school week: A game changer or a gamble for learning?

Floresville ISD is set to vote on a four-day school week proposal, following strong community support. With 68% of parents, staff, and students backing the idea, the district aims to boost teacher retention and student attendance. While research on the four-day week’s impact is mixed, with some studies showing academic setbacks, families value the flexibility. This proposal could align with national trends, but challenges like childcare remain a concern. The vote is scheduled for March 3, 2025.
