School Start Time Committee

Over the course of two years of research and committee work, the district explored updates to our school start times, largely in response to research that indicates how later start times can benefit the physical and mental health of high school students. Ultimately we decided to update our start time and schedule at the high school, revise the schedule at the middle school, and leave the elementary school schedules intact.

This page houses information and research generated by the work of the school-based and district level committees.
