I will agree that the 4 day sucks for parents that both work. Not sure how some do it.
To me, it saves money on buses and utilities, but not really teacher labor costs. Which are the highest costs of a school.

I question how much it saves on utilities. The HVAC systems are still going to run on Fridays and water is cheap. You might save a little money if you shut all the lights off. I don't know how much money you save on busses as the busses are either bought outright or leased and that costs doesn't change. You do save a little money on fuel.
