Long Form (multi topic, hourly/full show)

Students across Texas are either already back in school or will be in the next couple of weeks. And this year, more of them than ever will be attending class just four days per week.


More than 70 school districts across the state will operate on a four-day calendar, up from around 40 last school year. Education reporter Wayne Carter, of KRLD's media partner NBC 5, says districts that have already made the change haven't noticed a significant difference in learning.

The superintendent in Kingsville ISD, which will operate under a four-day calendar for the first time, says they chose to adapt to a changing world, while an administrator in Corrigan-Camden ISD says the shortned week has made a difference in the workplace.
