[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the most frustrating aspect of the experience is that other school districts in the area found a way to realign the school to serve the students' best interests.  The data are quite clear that starting HS (I think MS is far less of an issue) around 9 am will allow those students to perform to their best abilities, it is a shame that some kids will underperform simply because of bus logistics.  It is also a shame that the school district could not find $2 million in their very large budget, and then the teachers' opposition was also depressing as it was clear that the teachers in HS were putting their own schedule preference ahead of the best interests of their students.

No, the teachers multiplied time were references stating that they don't believe (and showed other school districts that aren't changing that much) that later start times would not increase student's sleep.  It just pushes the bell time later in the afternoon, sports get done later, and kids would have to stay up later and still be just as sleep deprived.
