[quote=Anonymous]Actually it's not really going to be 20 minutes longer. The starting bell and ending bell will be the same. What's changed is that the "technical" start time will be when buses arrive and when they leave. Those 10 minutes on either end will now "count" towards the minutes that kids are in school. It helps with making the snow day situation work. So if your official school day last year was 8:45 to 3:25, the bell will still ring at those times. Instruction will start at 8:45 and dismissal will be at 3:25. This year, the "official" start time on paper will be 8:35 which is when buses arrive. And the "official" end time will be 3:35 which is when buses have left. Again, the actual instruction time will still be exactly the same: 8:45-3:25.[/quote]
