Parents who have to work five days a week are concerned about this school's new 4-day schedule.
"A four-day school week isn't that unique," says Herl. According to the journalTeacher shortages and poor teacher retention rates in Missouri prompted the shortened school week, Herl says., enrollment rates for teaching professional programs have decreased by more than 25 percent over the past decade. Meanwhile, over a six-year period, the rate at which teachers left the profession reached 11 percent.
Anthony Mondaine, a school board member for the Independence School District and a pastor, voted against the measure. Working or single parents, including those without child care, will have to scramble to compensate for the day off, he says. Local parent Mackenzie Harris, whose son no longer attends school in the Independence School District, tells TODAY.com,"I’m scared that the surrounding districts will follow ISD. This is not what the students need!"
