TWIN FALLS, Idaho -- As Idaho school districts begin the 2010-11 school year with fewer classroom days due to budget cuts, many are worried about the effect it will have on student achievement.
The Twin Falls School District is cutting eight days of classroom instruction -- four full days and four half days.
Twin Falls Superintendent Wiley Dobbs tells The Times-News the district knows the cuts are going to hurt, and they are trying to minimize the damage as much as possible.
Gauging the effect of budget cuts statewide will be difficult, because school districts aren't all cutting the same number of days and won't have the same number of hours of instruction.
