The Payson School Board will consider shifting the district to a four-day school week next year. The move comes in response to a parent and staff survey showing broad support for a four-day school week â with perhaps half an hour of class time added to four days and no class at all on Friday. The district has been operating with what amounts to a four-day class week off and on all year â both when in distance learning mode and when back to in-person classes. But that schedule has devoted Friday to âreteachingâ and one-on-one intervention to help struggling students. The proposed four-day schedule would not offer such interventions on Fridays â but could open campus to many extra-curricular activities.
