[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I two more years of ES and three years of MS to think about. With that in mind, I don't like either option.

My ESer is the last kid off the bus and if I remember correctly from last year's documentation, our ES would be a 9:50 start time. A 9:50 start time would get her home between 5:05 and 5:15pm. This would impact her ability to do her sport.

My MSer would prefer an 8:00am start but not at the expense of his little sister, which I think is sweet. He also really likes after school programs, so he doesn't want the MS late start either.

We're basically screwed either way. These options SUCK. I prefer the status quo but that wasn't an option, was it?[/quote]

Speaking of sports, I want to know if moving HS start times later would impact permitting of fields and gyms at high schools to youth and rec sports organizations. Same with really any of the other fields. If school doesn't get out until 4:40, are permits really starting at 5 now? If HS gets out later and MS gets out later, when can rec basketball or volleyball teams get to the gym?

There's a whole cascade effect on family life outside of school and work with community use - not just sports but scouts and other similar groups also.[/quote]
