El Dorado Votes Against 4-Day School Weeks

The El Dorado Springs School Board has voted against going to a four day

school week for the second time. Superintendent Heath Oates says district

officials have done extensive research on five day versus four day weeks, and

studies show mixed outcomes for students. Several teachers in the district

favor a four day week as a way of retaining teachers, but oates says the

teachers have not made a compelling case for a four day week.
