Start School Later - Keene

My boys are in elementary school still, but I can see how this would be a benefit.

The time has come for this improvement.

the 222 to 6 pm time slot is when drug use emerges. We can move school start time one hour later, and cut that vulnerable slot by a third. It's a no brainer.

Same for SAT times, too!

Absolutely! Research says it all!

My grandson has to wakes up every morning to catch his highschool bus at 6:10. He is a growing teenager and needs more rest!!!

Teenager brains need sleep. With the amount of extra curricular activities and homework they do, they aren't getting enough. Please start later.

My teenager wakes up at 5:30 every morning to catch his bus at 6:10. This schedule makes playing sports or other after school activities almost impossible.

This would make a huge difference in the well being of our kids.

Do what's right for our student learners... Not what's easy for administrators...

Hey Anonymous... "Wrong!!"

With all of the scientific evidence supporting this change, it's hard to understand why anyone would oppose. It simply makes sense.

Please consider this change! A later start time would support the best interests of all our young learners.

Worked 5 years under late start. Willing to share info

Seeing my sophomore in college blossom as a result of his day starting much later than when he was in high school is validation to me of the value of this action.

Have supported this idea for many years. Do it! Claremont just did. Others have. Great results!

All research points to the benefits of this schedule change for our kids.

Thank you!

Neuroscience is clear on this one!

Research is clear, it's better for the students. Creative people can solve the scheduling issues. Just because it hasn't been that way doesn't mean it can't.
