The North Iowa School Board officially approved the move to a 4 day week beginning in the 2024-2025 school year. The board approved the move during a special meeting Tuesday night, after holding a public hearing and looking at a calendar showing how things would work throughout the year.
The four day week will be Tuesday through Friday, with school starting at 8:05am and ending at 3:45pm.
North Iowa becomes the 3rd school district in Iowa to approve a 4 day week this year, as Sydel and Martensdale-St. Mary’s each approved the change last month. Four school districts in Iowa are already using the 4 day week.
