February 7, 2024 5:44AM CST
A new study says four-day school weeks are not helping or harming student achievement and school building growth in Missouri.
The state has about 170 school districts holding classes four days a week.
Missouri Board of Education President Charlie Shields says lawmakers put the four-day school week option in place.
The study used standardized and end-of-course tests scores in math, Science, and English from 2011 to 2022.
