Boston Mayor Marty Walsh has proposed to make the school day 40 minutes longer for around 23,000 public school students.
Walsh announced in a press conference on Friday that around 60 elementary and middle schools could host longer days in the hopes that children will gain a more comprehensive education.
Teachers in the Boston Teacher Union will be able to vote on the new plan on January 14.
In addition to longer days, teachers would make an annual stipend of $4,464 to pay for their extra hours of work.

If I was a teacher in Boston I would vote for that. It's a $37/hour pay rate.
If only they were to teach the constitution during that additional time.
Wicomico has the longest school day in the state. How's that workin' for ya? Sometimes longer days just give hoodlums more time to make other kids and the teachers miserable.
