Majority of staff, parents support four-day school week

Posted

GOSHEN COUNTY – Most parents and district staff are in favor of moving to a four-day school week in Goshen County, according to preliminary survey results. Lincoln Elementary Principal and Four-Day Calendar Committee member Tim Williams presented an update at the Goshen County School District No. 1 board of trustees meeting Tuesday evening.

“We have 780 (electronic responses) so far,” he said, adding the total includes 515 parents and 265 of 350 staff members.

Earlier this month, the district provided an informational slideshow regarding the proposed four-day school week and link to a survey for parents and staff via social media and on its website. A paper copy of the survey is also available at the schools, although those responses were not included in Tuesday’s update.
