[Comm-Council] FW: 4 day workweek (Question from Bend Bulletin)

[HOKLIN Lonn * DAS DO]

James Sinks of the Bend Bulletin has inquired about whether state
agencies use the 4-day workweek.  If any of your departments do, please
give me a shout ASAP (or email).  Thanks in advance.  LLH

Hi Lonn:

 

There have been some suggestions that Oregon look at the possibility of
a 4-day workweek as a way to reduce some govt costs and also reduce some
commuting-related pollution, and I'm going to do a quick story on that.
Do any agencies do that now? Has anybody considered it? What has the
conversation been?

 

There are several rural school districts that have 4-day weeks.
