[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elementary first, then middle and high at the same time at 8:30. take advantage of public transportation for high schoolers. Why maintain so many buses?

Or, have parents pay a bus fee and waive it for FARMS families.[/quote]

[b]Does anyone know why switching HS and ES wasn't put forth as an option? [/b]Keeping MS as is, or slightly later than its current time (say 8:00 or 8:05). Can we not "switch" HS and ES just due to the sheer numbers of ES (130+ vs. only 25 HS).

Option 2 had MS starting really late... which was my biggest concern with Option 2. Although, I was willing to accept it as we really need to address the sleep issue in HS.[/quote]

OP here. It was.

One of the options was ES starts earlier (at 7:45am, which many parents thought was too early), then MS and HS later (not clear which of these would start first, hopefully MS).
I hope we can still keep this concept, but perhaps tweak the times.

A PP's suggestion that high schoolers be expected to use public transport, or schoolbuses at a cost, with waivers for FARMS, is intriguing.
