Four-day school week authorized--calendar to be filed with department.

171.029. 1. The school board of any school district in the state, upon

adoption of a resolution by the vote of a majority of all its members to

authorize such action, may establish a four-day school week or other calendar

consisting of less than one hundred seventy-four days in lieu of a five-day

school week. Upon adoption of a four-day school week or other calendar

consisting of less than one hundred seventy-four days, the school shall file

a calendar with the department of elementary and secondary education in

accordance with section 171.031. Such calendar shall include, but not be

limited to, a minimum term of one hundred forty-two days and one thousand

forty-four hours of actual pupil attendance.



2. If a school district that attends less than one hundred seventy-four

days meets at least two fewer performance standards on two successive annual

performance reports than it met on its last annual performance report

received prior to implementing a calendar year of less than one hundred

seventy-four days, it shall be required to revert to a one hundred

seventy-four-day school year in the school year following the report of the

drop in the number of performance standards met. When the number of

performance standards met reaches the earlier number, the district may return

to the four-day week or other calendar consisting of less than one hundred

seventy-four days in the next school year.
