Hawaii public schools go to 4 day school week

Winning, the objective, the thing you can point to and say "See that? We want to do that. What can we do to make our program better, to improve our chances at that?" is what has grown FIRST from 28 teams in a high school gym to where it is today. - Joe G. [more]

Joe,
At first, that's what I thought.........just like a weekend day.
But later, was told otherwise by our admin, but they are not 100% sure.

I wonder if its because of cutting other costs, such as electricity. Our athletic director also said that they were talking about rescheduling football games also that fell on a furlough day.

I guess it remains to be seen.

AP teachers have been in great discussion the past several days. Based on our school schedule, kids will lose out of 40% of AP instruction time per week. Ouch!
