Moving Mindsets

How could you adapt or change one of your current policies to reflect a moving mindset?
I am thinking of making a change with the homework assignments that I send home.  Currently, students have a short homework assignment that goes home 4 times a week (Monday thru Thursday).  I don't assign homework on the weekend.  After reading through the homework article I am interested in doing more research on homework policies that impact student achievement.  If I thought that students reading scores would improve if I went to a straight reading homework policy - I would make that change.
Is this a change you are willing to make?  Why or why not?

Currently, our grade level team worked together to implement the homework policy. I would need to talk with them about making this change for the following school year.  I would be willing to make the change to reading only - but I will need to do more reading on the subject before I do that.
