4 day workweek for schools
Published by clay July 24th, 2008 in Education. Tags: Jack OConnell, Schools, State Superintendent of Public Instruction.4 day workweek for schoolsI am glad to hear the discussion starting again. I emailed Jack O’Connell, the California Superintendent of Education, and he said the following: There are several districts that have specific legislative authority to reduce their minutes and days requirements and operate four-day school weeks, pursuant to California Education Code (EC) 37700. You may view the text of the EC on the California Law Web page at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html (Outside Source).
The few districts that use this authority receive a reduced rate of apportionment. There are also strict requirements-primarily meeting its Academic Performance Index (API) growth target or permanently losing the four-day week authority. The last group of districts to get the four-day week authority received it because they were small districts affected by the first San Diego fires. The other districts are primarily very small and have remote locations.
