Tre Sisco wanted a teaching job with a good work-life balance after graduating from Missouri Southern State University in 2023.
During his job hunt, he learned Missouri’s Independence School District was moving to a nontraditional, four-day school week — a change that would give staff and students Mondays off.
The district is part of a growing trend in rural communities, where schools are switching to four-day school weeks to attract and retain high-quality teachers amid funding challenges and a nationwide teacher shortage. (CNN)
A shortage of teachers is the primary motive driving this trend.
I hope the kids don’t lose out!
