Couldn't you just hire several more teachers and staff to switch out certain days subjects/coverage to achieve full 5 day coverage while also cross training people to better fill gaps. Also the education system is mostly just there to turn us all into workers of some sort, so as the regular work week shortens, perhaps the school week should as well. Especially if we're trying to maximize that extra family time.
I think part of the point of a less taxing work week/environment is part of the draw that could bring people back into these sorts of jobs.

For elementary school make it 4 days a week, parents should have another day with their kids. For highschool, many teachers do one or two subjects which don’t necessarily have to cover all five days, they can swap out.

Even a 32-hour week won’t guarantee you’ll be off the same day as your kids. Subsidized daycare should also be a thing.

If you’re talking about the children of teachers, they’re almost assuredly going to have the same days off.

No, I’m talking about everyone else’s children. Just because they get Fridays (for example) off doesn’t mean their parents do too. They could work Tuesday-Friday.
