Whitehall Considers a Four-Day School Week
Monday, January 28th, 2008The Whitehall School District is in the second year of evaluating the viability of adopting the four-day school calendar for its K-12 program. The committee doing the data gathering will make a recommendation to the school board in April regarding the 2008-2009 school year.
In an effort to continue to successfully meet the testing requirements on NCLB through research-based instruction, and in an attempt to minimize the impact of the pending budget shortfall by saving some money, WSD is seriously considering the four-day school week.
