The Terrell ISD will soon make a 3-day weekend a reality during the school year. NBC 5’s Alicia Barrera reports how it’s an effort to recruit and retain teachers.
In Terrell, a three-day weekend during the entire school year will soon happen for students and teachers. To recruit and retain teachers, the school district adopted the new instructional week that will run Monday through Thursday beginning August 9, 2023.
“This decision comes after hosting a number of calendar committee meetings, conducting extensive research on the impact and characteristics of the four-day week, surveying both parents and staff members and attending seminars to learn from those districts who have implemented the four-day school week model,” a spokesperson for the district said in a statement.
According to a survey by Terrell Independent School District, the survey revealed more than 70% of parents favored the four-day school week. The support from teachers and staff showed to be even higher at 92%. Although campuses will be closed on Friday, that does not mean it is a free day for students. The school district said students will participate in independent learning.Sign up for NBC DFW newsletters“Slightly longer school days for both students and staff will be adopted to account for the shorter school week,” the district said in a statement.Furlough Middle School: 7:30 AM - 3:45 PMLocal resource hubs like the Riter C.
