Did it have the positive impact the district was hoping for? ●Has the SC or LPS admin consulted with any physicians or sleep specialists regarding the impact of elementary students getting up early enough for a 7:40 am start time? ●Has the district considered fixing the bus problem? ●What about asking families not to ride the bus and drop their kids off at school? Carpooling? ●What about adjusting other levels and not just putting elementary back an hour and a half? ●How will this impact morning routines for young students? They’d have to wake up by 6:00 or earlier to have breakfast, get ready, and be on time for school when they’re currently sleeping until 7:30/8:00 am. ●What about METCO students? Will they have to ride the bus longer? Will they have to get up earlier? Minutes approved at 2/3/23 Bridge SBC meeting with majority vote of approval.
