I knew of a perfect solution. NOT changing the bell times. Not spending the 5 million to research the options and 5+ more million to implement it. For a school system so in need of millions that was $10-15 million extra right there. Teens get 20 more minutes of sleep and now the ES kids get higher class ratios. What an F'd up system of wasted money. [/quote]

No, that's not a perfect solution. High schools really did start too early. Middle schools, too.[/quote]

Says who? My kids were fine with it and got home before dinner even with sports. Those 20 minutes won't help anyone, especially ES teachers, working parents and coaches. The teens will just stay up later texting away. Do you really think they will be getting 20min more of sleep? My first bell was 7:08am in HS. Last bell was 1:58pm. Kids played sports or worked after classes. Homework at night. We all did just fine.

You honestly think it was worth an extra $15 million dollars of the budget? And you think it is fair Tier 2 ES kids are getting off a school bus close to dusk in the winter. All for 20 minutes? [/quote]
