The Albany High School Later Start Time Proposal is what's on everybody's mind lately and there is a wide variety of opinions. This petition is for those who *AGREE* that we should *NOT* be released from school any later than we are now. There is a lot of research to back up starting later, but same with the importance of extracurricular activities. Having a later start time would result in having a later end time, resulting in many of us missing our extracurriculars, and anything else students might have to do. On top of after-school activities, homework, etc., we will now have even less time to do it all. This will cause us to go to bed later, and this whole issue would come right back at us. Please vote against getting out later by signing this petition. Thank you!
*NOTE: This petition is only against getting out later, NOT necessarily starting later.*
I was just grabbing coffee and overheard a group of juniors arguing about the exact same thing we are talking about here which made me realize how much this is truly weighing on everyone. It is honestly exhausting to think about losing the precious few hours we have in the afternoons for practice and rehearsals because the math on the day just does not add up no matter how you look at the schedule.

I honestly did not think this would gain this much steam but here we are and it is wild to see everyone agreeing on the scheduling nightmare this could become. I have been reading through the thoughts you guys are leaving and it really highlights how many of us are worried about losing our nights to homework when we already have so much going on anyway.

My son is already getting home at 6pm for sports. If we push this back any further he wont even see his family before bed. This is a bad idea.

Finally someone saying it. Getting out early is the only way some of us survive the workload.

I need my job to help pay for college. If school lets out later I lose my shift and the money I need. Leave the times alone!!

THINK ABOUT THE KIDS IN SPORTS. we already have no time to study or even eat dinner. stop trying to change the schedule when it works fine.

Fix the traffic instead of messing with the school day. Moving the end time is just gonna make everything harder for everyone.
