4-Day School Week Study

Purpose/Objective:

Our purpose is to use a deliberate, transparent, and impartial process to meet our objective, which is to recommend to the Board whether or not JCSD1 should consider a 4-day school week beginning with the 2025-2026 school year.

Why is JCSD1 studying a 4-Day School Week:

  • A 2022 stakeholder survey (358 responses) indicated that 65% of respondents were in favor of “pursuing a 4-day school week calendar.”

  • The 4dsw continues to be considered by many districts in the mountain west.

  • The four-day work week is a trending national conversation.

  • Most importantly, is it good for kids?!
