Start times in the news...

Last month, the board unanimously approved a motion to "direct district administration to provide the board with a report on the obstacles and potential solutions to implementing later start times for the school day at the high school and middle schools."

While we await the administration's report, I continue to come across items that provide current insight into how similar initiatives have progressed in other districts in the area. Last week, WHYY interviewed John Sanville, Superintendent at Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, who pushed back their high school start times 25 minutes later last year and now start after 8 am.

It was an interesting conversation and well worth a listen!
