[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The survey is serving its intended purpose: to obtain data that will be used to justify boundary changes based on “proximity” to “meet parents’ concerns over start times.”

It is a weird survey because it is intended to obtain data that will be used to support a “decision” that is unrelated purported purpose of the survey.

You only think they “never use the surveys”. Oh they use them. That’s why they employ all those data folks. They just don’t use them to obtain actual public input in good faith. Just wait until the boundary review surveys hit your inbox in late summer. [/quote]

+1 although I didn’t make broader connection to boundary changes. I got the impression they were collecting data to support their position that high schoolers need to start earlier so they can be home first to babysit younger sibs and/or get to jobs. Maybe they want to switch middle and high school start times? [/quote]

They literally switched high school and middle school back in 2015. They’re not going to switch them back. Their goal back then was to get both later in accordance with research on adolescent sleep. [/quote]
