Notes

  • These times will be effective in August 2019 for the start of the 2019-20 school year.
  • The School Board developed this schedule by modifying the start time committee's option #1 after reviewing the results of the survey.
  • Some options being considered are morning tutoring and offering more clubs for middle schools to help families transition to the later start time.
