Oh, the drama

After a couple of years of study by the school board, and two recent meetings in which there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, the school board last night passed a 4-day school week to begin in the '09 - '010 school year and run through the '010 - '011 school year.

Everything I've read about this system indicates that it works very well (test scores increase and absenteeism decreases), and it works best for rural districts.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out here.

Oh maaaan, your youth pastor must be so excited. Three day weekends almost whenever you want. It's, sniffle ... a glorious thing.
