[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sort of coming around to option 1 - I wouldn’t mind a later start to both middle school and high school. My only concern would be homework - especially high schoolers. They get a lot and it would be tough to have enough time after school with the later start time. Then kids would have to stay up later to finish, which sort of defeats the purpose of a later start time.[/quote]

The late start time is awful for high school kids.

It would put things like Games and the musical going until 11PM.  High school students who need jobs would have difficulty finding them.  Practices would go too late.  It wil be more difficult forclub spinsors and coaches.

Keep the current schedule.

Do whatever it takes to give the high school kids the best schedule for their grades, activities and sports, to maximize their college applications.

If they must move it, flip Elementary and middle school, moving the entire schedule a minumum amount later, like no more than 20 minutes later.

The prioritymust be high school students over the 2 years of middle school.[/quote]

I agree with the priority being high school. The ata why I chose option 2, but that pisses the elementary crowd off.[/quote]
