ACGC 4-Day School Week Application Informational Meetings
ACGC Schools has been operating using a four day school week since 2013. We have been required to reapply to the MN Department of Education every three years in the past. Our current application expires at the end of the 2024-2025 school year and we have the opportunity to reapply for the next six years this time.
As part of the 4-day school week application process, ACGC Schools must hold three informational meetings to share survey results and gather community feedback. These meetings will present the data from the recent survey and discuss key findings regarding the benefits, challenges, and overall support for the 4-day school week.
Meeting Dates & Times:
📅 Monday, February 10th at 6:00pm – ACGC MS/HS Media Center in Grove City
