The Devine ISD school board meeting tonight ended with a split vote 3 to 3 on the four-day work week. There were speakers both for and against the big move.
Chris Davis made a motion to enact a 4-day school week, and Carl Brown seconded the motion, with Henry Moreno in agreement, however board members Renee Frieda, Keri James, and Ali Buvinghausen advocated and voted against the big change. Board President Nancy Pepper abstained from casting the deciding vote at this time.
It is uncertain if the matter will be taken up again at a school board meeting later this month.
