Start School Later: Consider delaying the start of the school day to after 8:30 AM. Research shows that later start times can significantly benefit students who are currently showing signs of exhaustion. This change is not only age-appropriate but has also been linked to improved student performance and well-being.

Cell Phone Use and Mental Health: There is a growing concern about cell phone addiction and its detrimental effects on students in the classroom. With mental health issues at unprecedented levels among youth, it is crucial to address and manage cell phone usage to foster a healthier learning environment and care for our kids addictions.[/quote]

Later start times - I wish but this is not practical. This was already settled.

Cell Phone Use - not necessary.  Parents can install parental controls if they are concerned. It's not the county's job to parent. They should focus on education and let families set their own priorities. [/quote]

No it's not settled. There are board members who are in favor of later start times because the science is clear on the benefits. Keep going on this parents.[/quote]
