MEADOW, Texas — On Tuesday, Meadow ISD announced the unanimous decision to begin four day school weeks for the upcoming 2020-2021 school year, according to a press release from Meadow ISD.
The press release goes on to say “The board made this decision after careful consideration of both the advantages and disadvantages of conducting classes four days a week, as well as staff
and parent/community surveys.”
School days will now start at 7:30 a.m. and end at 4:50 p.m. The superintendent said this was not a decision made lightly, but what the board thinks is best for parents, students, and teachers.
“I think we’ve got a plan in place that the kids are not only going to handle it, but enjoy it,” said Darrian Dover. “This way our teachers can get kids up to speed, while also allowing more brain breaks for the kids, because it is a long day at school.”
Meadow ISD says this action is a concerted effort by the Board to provide the best instructional environment for both students and staff.
