Editor: As a retired Floresville school teacher, a four-day school-work week seems absurd. The school system is supposed to serve the best interests of the children; but the teachers' union is pushing this idea under the guise of the Floresville Independent School District being better able to attract better qualified applicants with a four-day work week. In my opinion, this is adult-centered rather than child-centered thinking. I watch a school bus pass my bathroom window at 6:15 a.m. to pick up elementary school students who attend Floresville North Elementary. These students, some as young as 5 years old, were awakened...Article Link

Editor: I am writing in support of the Floresville Independent School District's (FISD) consideration of a four-day school week. This innovative approach is crucial to addressing the ongoing teacher shortage and improving educational outcomes and attendance for our students. No matter how many days students attend school, the quality of their education depends on the availability and caliber of their teachers. Unfortunately, the percentage of certified, traditionally trained teachers in our schools has dropped significantly. According to the Texas Education Agency's 2024 annual report, state-wide 56 percent of first-time teachers hired during the 2023-24 school year were uncertified, compared to...Article Link
