The districts are all small rural districts with a total enrollment of just over 10,000.

Ten of the districts starting on Tuesday have four-day schedules.

That’s an increasingly popular schedule for districts looking to keep or attract teachers.

In most cases, class periods are longer to meet the minimum state requirements. Other districts have extended the school year.

On Wednesday, 33 North Texas districts, including some in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, will return to the classroom.
