This year, the Baxter Springs School District introduced a new 4-day school week. A month into the school year, administrators say the 4-day school week has been a success thus far. Superintendent David Pendergraft says he’s received various emails from parents who were a bit skeptical of the change initially, but now they’re seeing the benefit of how it helps them to balance their work life and personal life. The schedule change has also helped with the recruitment of teachers to the district.
