One of the greatest barriers schools currently face is recruiting and retaining teaching staff. School districts are increasingly looking at four day school weeks to attract teachers. Altoona-Midway is considering this option for next school year. A folder containing several articles and research reports about four day schools is posted in the documents section of the district website. (Direct link below.) Within the next few days we will post a survey asking if you think we should consider adopting the four day school week. The USD 387 Board of Education will consider the results of that survey as well as a district staff survey when they discuss the possibility of a four day school week for next year. We appreciate your thoughtful consideration of the information presented, and look forward to your participation in the upcoming survey.
