They also added around 10 minutes to everyone’s school day. Look at the ending times.

Claremont is back to an early start time and I am so grateful. I Do think my kids will be sad about waking up earlier but the evenings have been so rushed. We basically get home and run out the door. I Think my kids are really struggling this year with that. It will be nice for them to have more downtime before they have to head to sports.
ATS was supposed to start at 9 but they petitioned to change it
Of course they did. I don't disagree with them wanting an earlier time but this is so entitled.
FOR EVERYTHING: ATS was supposed to “X” but they positioned to change.
Waste of resources, entitled parents. If it works, systemize it, if not get rid of it.
The teachers were the driving force behind the change. But I doubt you ever pass up an opportunity to call other parents entitled.

Why didn't we align all elem to the early 7:50 start time?
Because a large scale change of start/end times was very unpopular.

Parent preference was split 50/50 but the teachers overwhelmingly advocated for the earlier start time… so the PTA went with that.

All ATS wanted was the start/end slot that Key petitioned away from.

The times are in here- most schools aren't changing drastically but the 8:25 elementary schools either shifted to 7:50 or 9.

It looks like the school board was supposed to approve the new bell schedule at the May 12 meeting. But the schedule that’s online looks like the old schedule.

I saw a reference to the decision being made in another thread. What is the result?
