[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well. A compromise is just that.  Everyone must give up a little something.  All 3 categories must flex by 30 minutes.  It’s not even like the MS students are such great winners. With Option e they must start at 8am which is against the recommendation of the Pediatrics Acad.   who wants all start times to occur later than 8:30am after much research and discussion.  So, no one category is a big winner here.  [/quote]

Exactly. But the elem parents won’t compromise. They don’t understand anything bc they don’t have middle schoolers. [/quote]

Honestly, I think they should shorten the day. My district had ES start at 9:15 but they were out at 3:45. I think if they shorten the day, that would help. [/quote]

They can't. The state requires 180 days or 990 instructional hours. They go to school for 180 days but have 14 days of extra time built into the year by making each day a bit longer than required. Without that extra time, they'd need have extra days in the calendar in case of snow.[/quote]
