[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8 and 8:30 am. I know MCPS delayed to 7:45 several years ago. But is that enough?[/quote]

They already went over this and the problem is that changing high school times would negatively impact elementary and middle school times [/quote]

Blah blah blah.I spent years and years waiting for elementary school to start at 9:25. My kids would get up at 6:30 and there almost 3 hours til school started. Send those kids to school earlier![/quote]

Seriously. If they are concerned about health, the High School and elementary school start times should be flipped.[/quote]

Flipping HS and ES were not even considered. The main reasons were not enough time for high school ECs, high schoolers need to be available to babysit younger siblings, and highschoolers need to work after school.[/quote]

Charlottesville schools flipped HS and ES many years ago. Extra curriculars happened before school started versus after.[/quote]

If extracurriculars happen before school, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of this initiative which is to give teenagers more time to sleep in?[/quote]
