Beginning in the 2010-2011 school year the district began holding school for four days per week instead of five.[3] As a result, each school day is longer. The district saved $800,000 in its first year of four-day-per-week operations.[4] In 2019, the school district ended their four-day school week policy, due to the school district's low test scores.[5]
