[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These start times suck. I was one of the posters that said we would adapt but my goodness. School starts for my elementary kids at 7:30am. They will have to wake up really early. In addition, aftercare is an absolute must. They get out at 1:40! They will be in aftercare for over 4 hours. This is insane. [/quote]

Yep and Bowie HS changed from 815 to 730 poor kids. at least they dont need aftercare like ES/MS

I just dont think 730 should be a start time for any school. Its not enough sleep if a bus rider, which is the WHOLE reason the times got changed. Irony.

And aftercare will increase because its longer hours. And kids will be essentially indoors from 730-4/5pm if in aftercare. They'll transition fine to factory line work. [/quote]

I'm pretty sure that Bowie is currently a 7:45 start time.

We live 8 mins from Bowie HS and my neighbor's kid gets on the bus to BHS at 6:24am every morning. It's horrendous.[/quote]

Bowie High School has some bus routes that are doubled up, so a driver will do an early route that starts at 6:30, drop those kids off early and then head out again to do a second route that would arrive before the first bell.  Hopefully they will be able to eliminate those situations with the changes in routes and bell times.
