School board members voted Monday night to approve the switch to a four-day school week, contingent upon approval of an implementation plan to be presented at the board’s April 20 meeting.
“They (Superintendent Barry Williams and the administrative staff) have done a lot of work putting this together. We just felt like we needed to see a plan, rather than just saying…

That is a great move for Rangely schools! When Meeker was on the 4-day school week, the grades were up, the students were happier, the teachers were happier and some money was saved (not as much as they hoped, but some). The down side was the whiny parents that want the schools to be their babysitter – they whined until it got changed back – a real loss for the community!!
You know that the US is way behind the whole world on education we are not turning excellent students, as we use to. I do not think that less days of school will be the complete down fall of our Country. I would ask all educators think about doing the most they can for every student, not how much time they can have off and if we can save a buck. To much time off will lead to more kids looking for THINGS to keep them occupied. I realize I have moved on from Rangely but I have grandkids there that will have familys and I see what is happening all over this country and we need better educated chrildren to be taken over running our country for us. Just my opinion. Thank You Donnell Robie Sr.
