[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elementary first, then middle and high at the same time at 8:30. take advantage of public transportation for high schoolers. Why maintain so many buses?

Or, have parents pay a bus fee and waive it for FARMS families.[/quote]

[b]Does anyone know why switching HS and ES wasn't put forth as an option? [/b]Keeping MS as is, or slightly later than its current time (say 8:00 or 8:05). Can we not "switch" HS and ES just due to the sheer numbers of ES (130+ vs. only 25 HS).

Option 2 had MS starting really late... which was my biggest concern with Option 2. Although, I was willing to accept it as we really need to address the sleep issue in HS.[/quote]

OP here. It was.

One of the options was ES starts earlier (at 7:45am, which many parents thought was too early), then MS and HS later (not clear which of these would start first, hopefully MS).
I hope we can still keep this concept, but perhaps tweak the times.

A PP's suggestion that high schoolers be expected to use public transport, or schoolbuses at a cost, with waivers for FARMS, is intriguing.

I'm the person quoted asking why an option didn't switch ES and HS.

To the OP. No, Option 2, which was the only option that had ES first, always had MS dead last, either 9:30 or 9:40 depending on the model. My question was meant specially switching ES and HS and leaving MS "as is."  Currently, MS is 7:55.
