School District Ditching Monday Classes to Save Money


CLARA CITY, Minnesota - The MACCRAY school district in west-central Minnesota is poised to go to a four-day school week next year to save money. Superintendent Greg Schmidt said Tuesday the move will save about $65,000 from the district's $7 million budget, mostly in transportation costs. He said that if the state Education Department approves the move, MACCRAY will be the first district in the state to reduce its week to four days. Schmidt said the plan would cut 23 days out of the year by eliminating school on the Mondays. The school day would expand by an hour Tuesday through Friday. More...
