There is much research regarding the benefits of a later school start time for adolescents. Many factors play into the creation of a realistic and feasible
bell schedule (school start times).
The commitment of the district is to develop start time models that maximize the use of the buses and keep costs at a minimum. In the past, other start time models added significant costs for more buses and more drivers. Due to budgetary constraints, those models were eliminated from consideration.
A thorough analysis of school start times takes time. The School Board members and administration are committed to explore options and their consequences.
There is a link below to the work session presentation that will provide survey results as well as a link to watch the work session live online.
