[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think lotteries at elementary are a non-starter but at the middle and high school level could make alot more sense. [/quote] I'm a PP and would be open to discussion at the HS level, but would hard object at the MS level. These kids already start school really early and parents probably struggle with getting them sufficient sleep during the week. If a lottery meant kids had to catch a bus across the county, in some cases they could literally be leaving their house at 6:30 or 6:45am. No thanks. [/quote] School start times can be changed.[/quote] Do you have any idea of how difficult it is to plan all the bus routes? School times are staggered in order to maximize runs-- they try to get 3 runs per bus in the morning and 3 in the afternoon because they have a shortage of drivers and also no place to stick more buses. It's not so easy to just "change start times." [/quote]
