A school in Lafayette is the first in the state to move to a four-day school week.
Vinton Elementary School is implementing the new calendar starting next week.
During a school board meeting on Wednesday leaders with the Lafayette School Corporation approved the change.
The school district got a waiver form the state to proceed with the four-day week, but students still have to hit the 180-day minimum for the school year.
That means students at Vinton will have to stay at school 50 minutes longer for each of the four days to compensate.
