Parents in the Duck Creek neighborhood in Richardson protested the rezoning as part of the RISD RightSize plan to consolidate buildings and balance the budget

​The first day of school will start on Aug. 7 and the district will shift to the 4-day school week on Oct. 9.said the switch is an effort to retain and recruit teachers due to a"statewide teacher shortage, particularly in rural areas." The district covers Sanger, Texas, and also serves portions of Denton, and the unincorporated community of Bolivar.

"We are unable to pay our employees the same salaries as the larger districts in our area. This would help give Sanger ISD a competitive edge in hiring employees," the district said. "Sanger ISD employees will have at least three Fridays off each month to spend with family, schedule appointments, rest, and take care of personal business," the district said.

"The 4-day instructional week is revenue-neutral. Again, our goal for implementing a 4-day educational workweek is to create an attractive incentive for recruiting and retaining teachers and staff," the district said.
