The vote authorizes the schedule for the next 10 years, when then the district will have to hold another special election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Walker didn\u2019t think the margin would be that wide. Earlier surveys from the district\u2019s 2022 adoption of the schedule put approval at around 60%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He believes that the district\u2019s growing success on standardized tests and other publicly available metrics have given families confidence that the four-day week isn\u2019t such a bad thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOur community has grown to appreciate the four day week more after experiencing it for a few years,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Todd Fuller, director of communications for the Missouri State Teachers Association, told The Independent that voters in districts who have already been operating in a four-day week like Independence and Hallsville have an idea of how it works for their students. The state law, passed in 2024, will require a vote prior to the schedule\u2019s adoption for those who do not already adopt the abbreviated week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAnyone who\u2019s a constituent of the district has had time to digest this process, and they\u2019ve been able to decide over a two-year period whether it\u2019s been beneficial or not beneficial for their kids,\u201d Fuller said. \u201cSo if they are expressing that feeling with their vote, then we\u2019re going to have a pretty good understanding of what they really want.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The association doesn\u2019t have an official stance on the four-day week. But Fuller said the teachers it represents have been pleased with the schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Jorjana Pohlman, president of Independence\u2019s branch of the Missouri National Education Association, told The Independent that the overall sentiment is positive from the district\u2019s educators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Mondays out of the classroom have become a good time for teachers to have doctor\u2019s appointments, spend time with their families and plan for the week ahead, she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIn the beginning, it was fear of the unknown for families as well as teachers,\u201d she said. \u201cA lot of teachers had the attitude of, \u2018Let\u2019s try it.\u2019 They, I think overall, felt it was a positive thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.primecenter.org\/education-reports-database\/4dsw-case-study\" target=\"_blank\"><span>study by Missouri State University researchers<\/span><\/a><span> looked at recent applicants to teaching positions in Independence, finding that the four-day week was a key part of the district\u2019s recruitment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In particular, 63% of applicants rated the four-day schedule as a top-three reason for applying, and 27% said it was their top priority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The study also looked at the value of the four-day week for applicants, asking how much they would sacrifice in salary to work at a district with the schedule. On average, applicants were willing to sacrifice $2267 annually for the four-day week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Walker said the schedule has also improved recruitment in Hallsville, with a dramatic uptick in veteran teachers applying to positions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With teachers coming to Independence schools particularly for their schedule, some worried that returning to a five-day week would have large consequences for staffing. But Pohlman said a survey showed that the loss of educators is less than many would think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe educators, they care deeply about their students, and they want what\u2019s best for students and for the community, whether it\u2019s four day week or five day week,\u201d she said. \u201cThey are still going to be committed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Almost <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.primecenter.org\/prime-blog\/4dsw-summary\" target=\"_blank\"><span>a third of Missouri districts have adopted a four-day week<\/span><\/a><span>, with around 91% of those districts in rural settings.
