Sleep study update

Dr. Richard Simon, Jr. presented to the school board Tuesday night arguments for starting high school at a later time. He suggests high school should not start earlier than 8:30 a.m. He cited several scientific data research sources to support his position.

The school board asked the district to further study this issue. Executive Director of Business Ted Cohan, who oversees Transportation which is a critical component of this issue, will lead the study. Staff, parent, student and community input will be part of the study, according to Cohan.
