Kirby School Board to Implement Four Day School Week

The Kirby School Board has voted unanimously to implement a four day school week for the 2019-2020 school year.

Over the past six months, there has been much discussion, research and surveys between administrators, faculty/staff, students, parents/guardians, and community regarding a four-day school week.

Superintendent Pike Palmer says they feel there are many positives that will become of this decision for Kirby School District, their students, and the community. It is their goal to become the first current school district to successfully implement a four-day school week in Arkansas. Other schools have previously used a four-day week.

Other information will be released soon.
