LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - After a 7-0 vote at Tuesday’s board meeting, Lockney ISD is moving to a four-day week for the 2021-2022 school year.
Students will go to class Tuesday through Friday from 7:40 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., adding about 45 minutes to their school day.
Superintendent Jim Baum says the main reason for the change was to give teachers an extra day to plan.
Right now, they only get about 45 minutes a day to grade and prepare lessons for up to 90 students.
He says many teachers take that work home, taking them away from their families.
