Meeting Category:  July 14, 2014 – Work Session No. 7
 
Subject:                  Blueprint for Change
 
School Board Action Required:  Discussion
 
Background:
 
In April 2013, the School Board awarded Children’s National Medical Center (CNMC) a contract to develop a Blueprint for Change for later high school start times in Fairfax County.  The CNMC team is tasked with developing empirically-based recommendations for starting FCPS high schools after 8:00 a.m. to improve students’ mental and physical health, academic performance, and safety.
 
To date, the CNMC team has completed background research that has included scientific literature reviews; analysis of previous FCPS task reports, surveys, and media articles; analysis of school districts across the country with successful school start time change through a new national survey, in-depth interviews, case studies, and media reports, and the compilation of these findings into a “lessons learned” report. As part of its community engagement efforts, the CNMC team has created and maintained website and social media pages with educational materials, held over 47 individual community stakeholder meetings, and hosted four group stakeholder meetings to examine costs, logistics, feasibility and the potential impact of moving high school start times later.
 
FCPS and CNMC recently conducted eight town hall meetings and provided an online feedback form to receive community input on four bell scenario options selected by the School Board in April.  CNMC will provide a briefing on the community feedback and present recommendations related to refining a final bell scenario that will be presented in the fall. [/quote]
