Yes, please! But how would that save costs? Wouldn't they still have to go 180 days? Or would they keep the same calendar but w/ those days

cut? Then what about the parents? Wouldn't a lot of them have to figure out childcare? There's another expense. A lot to think about.

a district did that here this year. They go longer each day to make up the time. Many parents had to scramble to cover child care.

Hawaii did it, and that article talks about it two years later

would you have longer work days? I don't think elementary kids could stand longer days.

mweisburgh: good article. I hate what's happening w/ education! When you've cut all that can be cut, what else is there to do?

Interesting concept. Is the district thinking about supplementing with some facilitated online classes?

They apply for a waiver substituting hours or minutes for days.

If it's a rural district where all the kids are bused, it can save $$.
