Broken Arrow Public Schools in Oklahoma considers a four-day school week to boost teacher retention.

Broken Arrow Public Schools in Oklahoma is considering switching to a four-day school week to help attract and retain teachers. The district formed a 130-member committee to study the proposal, drawing insights from Wagoner Public Schools, which reported benefits like improved teacher retention, better attendance, reduced disciplinary issues, cost savings, and enhanced student performance. Despite concerns about childcare and budget impacts, BAPS aims to gather parent feedback and make a final decision in February.
