Colorado School Switches To A 4-Day School Week. (No Classes Monday)

It’s like every kids dream! No school on Monday!

According to a post by 9News.com A school in Colorado just started its first year with only a 4-day school week!

“School District 27J will transition from a five-day student contact week to a four-day student contact week beginning in August 2018.

The Brighton-based school district made the announcement official in a news release Monday morning.

School District 27J says the four-day week will help create a schedule that acts as enticement for recruiting and retaining quality teachers as well as allows for the allocation of resources to items more critical to the district's "primary purpose."

Apparently this is all to save money. The article says, by not running school buses on the days with no classes, the district estimates to save around $700,000.
