Four Day School Week Starts Monday in Athens

ATHENS — About three thousand students in the Athens school district will go to class Monday through Thursday in the upcoming school year. The district says the new schedule does not affect the total amount of time kids spend in the classroom and still meets the minimum number of minutes they’re required to be in school. It also says Fridays extracurricular activities including high school football will not be impacted by the change. School starts for AISD on Monday.
