Welcome - we're glad you're here. The Four-Day School Week Resource Center is a free, nonpartisan hub that brings together the best available evidence and real-world experience on the four-day school week, all in one place.
Our purpose is to help educators, school boards, parents, policymakers, and researchers make informed decisions - with peer-reviewed research, interviews and presentations, Missouri-specific data, practical guidance for districts considering the change, and a look at how the four-day week works around the world. The Center is curated by Dr. Jon Turner and the research team at Missouri State University.

Dr. Karl Janson from Cabool Schools was one of the first to adopt the four-day school week in Missouri. Now with over 1/3rd of Missouri schools on the four-day week and with Dr. Janson's upcoming retirement, I recorded this interview with Karl to seek his advice about the four-day school week for those considering it. Dr. Janson retired in June 2025 but he can still be reached at KJanson70@gmail.com if you have questions or would like to have him speak with your leadership team.
