[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We'll be doing before care at the school this year.  Our bus won't come until 9:05, and school starts at 9:25.  Luckily our before care is not full yet.

I do find it pretty crazy though that the school bus isn't scheduled to leave the school until 3:57!  That seems so late.  Meaning DD won't get off the bus until about 4:20?  [/quote]

[b]Yes, they will be walking home as the sun is getting ready to set in December.[/b]  My DD is in tier 2 and it is terrible. It also messed up sports practices too. The only option is 6-7pm and by late Sept that is too dark. So luckily the county allowed a :30 start time for 5:30 which they normally won't. [/quote]

I agree that 3:50 pm is late to get out of school. But it's useful to have some perspective. The earliest sunset of the year is 4:43 pm, for December 3-12. Unless the child really dawdles on their walk home, they're not going to be walking home at sunset, even in the first week of December. [/quote]

My child walked in the door everyday at 4:12pm from the bus stop last year. That was late enough but it will now be 4:35 from the bus schedule. And how about for walkers that walk 1/2 to a full mile to school?  That is a safety issue being so late to sunset and closer to rush hour.  And how are these kids supposed to play after school when it is getting dark out and almost dinner time? Sorry but the times are too late. Tier 2 got screwed. [/quote]
