CMS drop off time has always begun at 7:30am, with little to no traffic at drop off. Due to our entire school transportation method being car riders, now that the drop off time has changed to 7:45am, the lines are heavily congested with all the parents arriving to the school within a shorter window. Please take into consideration that 15 mins has caused so many issues for parents and students and can easily be resolved. From a working parent’s perspective, please bring back 7:30am to accommodate student and parent needs and to alleviate the congested traffic in the mornings.
Thanks in advance for your consideration,

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the momentum behind this request. It is clear that the frustration over these morning lines is shared by so many of you, and seeing us come together like this is truly humbling.

Worst decision ever made by the school board! Sent several emails to people in charge with no response regarding the drop off and parents trying to get to work.!
Trying to get to work downtown by 8 is impossible now. The backup on the main road is backed up past the light and it adds 20 minutes to my commute every single morning.
It is very hard on working parents who have to be at work at 8:00 to make it on time now that drop off has been pushed back 15 mins. Traffic is a mess. Other 8:15 schools might not have that problem because they have buses. We don’t have the option for buses like they do so that is why an earlier drop off is unique and necessary for CMS and worked much better.
I don’t have to punch a time clock but still need to consider for the ones that do!
Grandkids Porter and Rowan Benson 730 drop off helps parent to get to work on time. Lines are so long in the morning .
Something has to give! The traffic is awful!
Even though my work lets me be somewhat flexible with my arrival in the mornings, most employers are not. I feel like changing the arrival time is being VERY unfair to the working parents of CMS. 1) This change was announced only two weeks prior to school starting; causing parents to rush to try to figure out how they are going to get their kids to school. 2) It was stated that it is not JMCSS policy to be in charge of the students prior to 7:45, however I'm pretty sure there are buses in our district that drop students well before 7:45 so that excuse is invalid. 3) There is NO before care offered at CMS. It would be one thing if parents chose to not pay for before-care; therefore agreeing to drop their kids off at 7:45...but there is NO other option for parents! You are punishing working parents! I urge you to please reconsider the 7:45 drop off time OR to give us another option.

This is a major thing for working parents. Not to mention a HUGE factor to consider when you have children at multiple campuses in elementary and high school.
