❓Would a 4-Day School Week Fix the Budget Shortfall? No, a 4-day school week would not resolve our budget shortfall. For our district, a significant **75.9% of overall expenditures** were for payroll in fiscal year 2023. Most districts that implement a 4-day school week do so as an incentive to attract and retain staff. Importantly, these districts **do not reduce employee salaries**. Instead, staff members work longer hours during the shortened week, and students attend school for extended hours to meet the state’s required number of minutes for the school year. A 4-day week may improve work-life balance, but it won't solve the underlying financial challenges we face. 💛🖤 #VegaISD

How Will a 4-Day Week Affect Student Attendance? A 4-day school week may improve student attendance by allowing families to schedule doctor’s appointments, travel, and other obligations on the day off—reducing missed instructional time. ➡️ Learn more at the Parent/Community Meeting on March 18. #VegaISD #4DaySchoolWeek

Will Extracurricular Activities Still Be Available? YES! Athletics, band, and other extracurricular activities will continue as usual. 🎶🏈🏀 Coaches and program leaders will adjust practice schedules as needed to ensure students continue to receive the same level of participation and training. ➡️ Learn more at the Parent/Community Meeting on March 18. #VegaISD #LonghornPride #4DaySchoolWeek
