Big Country schools take different approaches to four-day weeks

BIG COUNTRY, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Many Big Country school districts have adopted some version of a four-day instructional week, but the schedules vary.

Some districts take every Friday, Monday, or a combination of the two off year-round. These include:

• Brookesmith ISD
• Benjamin ISD
• Westbrook ISD
• Loraine ISD
• Moran ISD
• Breckenridge ISD
• Trent ISD

In Benjamin ISD, these days are also listed as “incentive days” off.

Roby CISD, Haskell CISD, Rotan ISD, and Aspermont ISD start the school year with traditional five-day weeks before switching to four-day weeks later on.

Other districts, like Brownwood, TLCA Abilene and Miles ISD, opted instead for early release one day each week.
