The MACCRAY school district in rural Minnesota is making every weekend last three days.

Students who live in Maynard, Clara City and Raymond, Minnesota will not have to go school on Mondays when autumn rolls around. In order to save an estimated $85,000 in administrative and transportation costs, the State Board of Education has decided to compress the school week into four days.

We predict that this will become a common occurrence in the rural areas of the country. Since it is established that $4 a gallon for gas is the standard now instead of a market abberation, the realities of fuel costs are starting to become apparent. 

Also of note in the article is the mention that the four day school week affects the parents, many of whom now have to juggle schedules in order to make sure that their children are supervised on Mondays.
