Cash-Strapped School Districts Considering 4-Day Weeks...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Two Pennsylvania school districts are considering switching to a four-day week to save money.
The Coatesville Area School District in Chester County and the Warren County School District are considering year-round four-day weeks as a way to prevent layoffs and program cuts. No other Pennsylvania districts have such a schedule.
Under the Coatesville plan, students in the middle and high schools would have their days extended 45 minutes. Elementary school students would get an extra 80 minutes. Coatesville superintendent Richard Como says the change would save his district $1.7 million per year.
Warren County school officials say such a move would save money by cutting the number of meals the district must serve and trimming transportation costs.
