When people talk about a four day week, does that include schools or just office workers? If less time at school, is there evidence on the impact for learning?

@Shobeck Four day school weeks are pretty common in the Western U.S. states. This is mostly in rural areas where regular office work hours aren’t the main type of employment. The evidence on impact on learning seems mostly negative. Implementation that keeps the same number of instructional hours seems to help.
