This study examines the dynamics of school district expenditures surrounding the adoption of four-day school weeks using a self-collected nationwide panel of four-day school week use from 1999 to 2017 combined with disaggregated school district expenditure data. The study finds that districts use the four-day school week in conjunction with preexisting instructional expenditure reduction policies and that the four-day school week reduces support services expenditures due to decreased educational service provision.
