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.
