As part of an effort to retain and attract teachers, the Timpson ISD school board voted to implement a four-day instructional week during a special meeting Tuesday night.
The board has decided to implement a 4-day instructional week,” Timpson ISD Superintendent Mid Johnson said in a post on the district’s Facebook page. “With this innovative change comes a lot of questions and challenges, but a lot of questioning, thought and planning has already gone into the discussion.”
Johnson said in the post that Timpson ISD’s administrators and leaders believe this will help with the retention/attraction of staff and improve the attendance rate of staff and students.
We know some parents may be concerned about childcare for their younger children on Fridays,” Johnson said. “We are discussing some creative ways to help families on Fridays if needed.”
