"Motion passes 3-2..."

And just like that, after four hours of discussion, the Nampa School District will move to a four-day school from the 2024-25 school year. The Nampa School District board of trustees heard from the superintendent, deputy superintendent, and president of the Nampa Education Association on the pros and cons of a four-day school week.

A primary concern of the trustees surrounded too many changes too fast after a change to the trimester schedule next year and the closure of some schools earlier this year.
