Middle schoolers are fine with the current schedule

LOL, no, they're not at all.  C2 it is.  E defeats the whole point of this exercise by not shifting MS late enough, and causes everyone else to shift as well. "Ease of communication"? What a horsesh!t justification... "Dear parents, next year Larla's school will be shifting their bell schedule to <X>".  Doesn't really matter what X is

c2 is the best option. It gives middle school a late start and reasonable hours for ES and high school. [/quote]

Are you stupid????? Late start and coming home late is awful for middler schoolers, this is the age where they start getting serious about sports and they need time to decompress between getting home from school and going to practice. Your teeny tiny ES baby's soccer practice is not nearly as important. These are formative years.[/quote]

Actually, late start for middle schoolers makes sense.

If they get out around 4:15-4:30 PM it leaves them with very little time to screw around unsupervised and wreck havok at the local Starbucks because their patents will be home in 20 minutes.

I would be okay bumping the schedule 30 minutes later, if it means elementary starts around 7:30 and middle school is in school until 4:30.

I would not even be a little bit OK if it was the opposite, with elementary getting out at 4:30.
