[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was very disappointed they didn't ask about the MIDDLE SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL program.[/quote]

? The survey was designed to ask about middle school start times, which it didn’t even do that! After school programs have nothing to do with that.[/quote]

Of course it is relevant. If Middle School doesn't start until 9:45 am, then the after school programs will not be operated. Many parents would prefer an early start + after school programming vs. a late start and no programming.[/quote]

Don't fool yourself that the County sees this as a very easy way out. If they don't start school until 9:45 (hmmm, nearly 2 hours after the current start time) and then let them out at 4:30, we don't have to operate the afternoon/after school programs!

Also, I think this will just push the activities (especially with the late dismissal) for that age group/set of grades much later. Think a practice running at 8-9:30pm, or something along those lines. [/quote]
