| If you must know. Attendance started increasing, test scores increased, it was a way to get kids to attend school more, and it saves the school districts lots of money. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Ok, so far one downside to this. What else? | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| That's precisely why the districts have done this. Moving to 4 days save them about $400,000 annually. In a lot of the rural areas if a 5 day week would be kept then teachers would end up being fired | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| They're saving money? how much are they saving? Would any teachers lose their jobs? | |
 | |  |
|

 | |  |
| Basically, the district is spending 1/3 less on substitutes now than before. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Any other specific savings? | |
