Another South Texas School District Adopts 4-Day Week

4-Day school weeks are something that has been trending in Texas over the past couple of years. Another district has just been added to the list. The Floresville ISD Board of Trustees voted to move to a four day school week for the 2025 academic school year, according to the school district.

Here is one of the districts that has recently gone a 4-day week.

Well, not for the entire year.

According to My San Antonio, students will be going to be in school Monday through Thursday during the second and fourth grading periods, and the full five days during the first and third grading periods. There are four grading periods through the year. The district would give two weeks off for Christmas, and a week off for Thanksgiving as well as Spring Break. Read more. 

Why a 4 day school-week?

Many districts are hoping a shorter school week will improve attendance, and in turn, improve achievement! Districts propose the four-day instructional week and will use the fifth day for teachers to complete some of those additional tasks.
