The school board's considering the research that's happening across the country that is telling school districts especially high schools and middle schools to have adolescents start later.

I think 750 is too early I think 9:25 or 920 for middle school is too late... I'm very concerned that those first bus pickups would be 7 o'clock even perhaps earlier when you talk about the choice program schools.

I just I can't emphasize enough in the in the deliberation that's going on with the board that putting our children's health and their academics at the front of this conversation is what should be driving the decision versus X curricular activities.

Middle school learners are not being honored in the present proposal in my opinion for these reasons student access to learning facilities for example high school athletics want to be allowed to enter the building prior to the end of the school day... 14 to 18 which doesn't hit the target middle school age of 11 to 13 which is what is actually at our school.

I was kind of shocked to find out that all Gees buses were being used with the Dinah public system... I just don't understand the buses with being used OLG... I think maybe start times should be different with high school being first so on and so forth.

No one has asked us our opinions as middle school teachers... having high school team start to practice before middle school is done can deny students 60 hours of instruction by taking away 20 minutes a day... my percentage of grades from my period one two classes at eight o'clock to my one and two o'clock there is a seven to nine percent higher grade level in the morning classes.

My son Aiden is in second grade at Creek Valley and he has moderate autism spectrum disorder... if there's such a large time window then we're just concerned is there a specialized schedule thing where our autistic students and Down syndrome students have something for them to do.

If I were coming in as a consultant... you are trying to solve a financial problem in terms of the buses with a programmatic solution which anybody who spent considerable time in the nonprofit will tell you that that's really not best practice... we're solving one fiscal problem by causing another for a lot of working families.

I support the recommendation to flip tier 3 and tier 1... it does prioritize academics over necessarily extra qulet extracurriculars... at the end of the day if you look at research and it talks about the type of hours of sleep that kids at this developmental stage need I think it's the right decision.

I've seen very specifically at South youth this year the school really working very very hard to embrace the middle school concept... if you make those things available to them it's kind of like what's fun somebody spoke to earlier did the equity to get those kids in earlier if you're not gonna have buses all of the opportunities we're creating for the middle school kids to send on to be academically successful at the high school you're going to eliminate.
