Cloudcroft Goes to 4 Day School Week

Santa Fe New Mexican - CLOUDCROFT — Students and teachers will soon be on a 4 day school week in Cloudcroft. The Cloudcroft School Board approved the change Monday, even though some parents voiced opposition to a shorter school week. Parents against a shorter school week said they hadn't been given enough time to react or ask questions. School board members say they are dealing with fewer dollars from the state as they wrangle with a $400,000 budget deficit. The school board says the district would save on utilities and other costs with a shorter school week. Read full story here: News New Mexico
