Shorter Day Once a Week for Wake Schools Being Considered

The N&O published an article today summarizing the Wake County School Board's preliminary show of support Tuesday for releasing schools early once a week to give teachers more planning time. The proposal would allow ALL schools to dismiss an hour early one day a week, and elementary and middle schools would also add two more half-days a year. The board will take a final vote on this issue March 31, and the changes could be implemented in July. Read the full story here.

Of course, this could be an expensive problem for working parents whose children attend after school care. What do you think?
