[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is that while every family has it's own complicated and specific circumstances and preferences, the current discussion about school boundaries and start times is necessarily guided by overarching priorities of the district to have buildings that aren't severely overcrowded and to not have kids going to school at times that science and data say is detrimental to their learning. To think that a district with almost 200K students can worry about clubs, parent volunteers, kids who prefer to get up early, parents whose bosses are inflexible, etc. is a folly. [/quote]

OK but the point is that if the school system redoes start times and impacts all these community organizations, the entire county will feel an impact that isn't just individual families having to rework their schedules. There's lots of "we can do this because this is when the permits always are, these are the rooms we've always had, this is the way it's been for a decade" that will be upended again. I know everyone figured it out when they last moved start times, but what a pain.[/quote]
