(KLZA)--Students attending the Nodaway-Holt R-VII Schools will have a four-day school week staring with the 2022-23 school year.
The Mound City News reports the School Board voted 4-3 in favor of the change during their February 16 meeting.
Board members noted they hope the calendar change will help with recruiting teachers since the number of teachers applying for jobs has declined.
The new four-day school calendar will result in 11 fewer Monday's on the school calendar.
Earlier in the month, the Rock Port School District voted to go to a four-day school week and so did the West Nodaway R-1 School District in Burlington Junction.
