No 4-Day School Week in Griswold

The Griswold school board voted Monday night against pursuing a 4-day school week for the 2024-25 school year.

Superintendent Dave Henrichs said the process started last spring by getting feedback from patrons of the district and more recently, a survey of staff.  The survey asked about student performance issues and staff retention.  Henrichs said the survey results were mostly down the middle.

Henrichs said they will continue to watch what is happening in school districts in Iowa and Missouri who have made the change to see if the 4-day school week might make sense down the road.
