    Four-day school weeks were rejected in St. Joseph, and a new bill signed by the governor may reduce the likelihood of the issue arising again any time soon.

    Gov. Mike Parson signed Senate Bill 727 into law on Wednesday, addressing elementary and secondary education and incentivizing a five-day school week. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will give any school district with a five-day school week funding equal to 1% of its annual state aid entitlement for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, or 2% for 2028 and the following fiscal years.
