📣 4-Day School Week Update: No Decision Has Been Made
We've heard there are some questions and concerns, so we wanted to provide a quick update.
✅ No decision has been made.
✅ Nothing will change for the 2026-27 school year.
At this point, we are simply exploring whether a 4-day school week is something Mahnomen Public Schools should consider in the future.
Over the course of this school year, we will:
🔹 Share research and information
🔹 Answer questions
🔹 Gather feedback from staff, families, students, and the community
🔹 Keep the process open and transparent
If a recommendation were ever made to move to a 4-day week, it would not take effect until the 2027-28 school year at the earliest.
We appreciate everyone taking the time to learn, ask questions, and share their perspectives. We'll continue to keep our community informed every step of the way.
