• 1. Share findings from the initial round of

community input.

• 2. Share early results of the risk analysis work that

has begun with TregoEd.

• 3. Provide recommendations for next steps.

General Findings from Community Input

• Generally speaking, the community understands the scientific reasoning for later start

times for adolescents.

• Regardless of the position they have on the current proposal, most community

members support later start times for adolescents, in concept.

• Many students, educators, and members of the public have expressed their belief that,

even with ideal start and end times for adolescents, other factors will disrupt sleep, including:

• homework demands,
• extracurricular commitments, and
• personal choices to delay bedtimes in lieu of engaging in other activities

such as social interaction via technology and gaming.

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

Community Input on the Proposed Schedule

Th Ther ere is is co consid ider erable e opposition to the e sched edule e proposed ed in in Oct ctober er 2019.

Much of the opposition relates to the following features of the proposed schedule:

• 1. Elementary school days that begin at 7:45 am.
• 2. Elementary schools that start and end prior to middle and high school.
• 3. Middle school dismissal times of 4:05 pm (60 minutes later than the

current schedule) and, but to a lesser extent, high school dismissal times of 3:25 pm (45 minutes later than the current schedule).

7

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

An elementary start time of 7:45 am would…

shift bedtimes earlier into the evening by 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Families report this will interfere with:

• family time together in the evenings,
• time for extracurricular activities, and
• pportunities for students to get enough sleep, particularly during the

time of year when the sun sets later than the target bedtime.

8

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

An elementary start time of 7:45 am would…

result in elementary students travelling to school during times

• f limited visibility for portions of the calendar year.

Many families and staff members have expressed concern for the safety of LMSD’s youngest students during civil twilight. This extends to walkers as well as those waiting for school buses which would begin picking up children at 7:00 am.

9

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

An elementary start time of 7:45 am would…

result in an early wake time for elementary students.

Some families are concerned that early wake times will lead to negative health outcomes for children, such as sleep deprivation, poor nutrition as a result of the morning rush, or anxiety from rushing to make it to school. Elementary educators have expressed concerns about an increase in students arriving late to school.

10

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

An elementary start time of 7:45 am would…

be mis-aligned with area preschools, pre-kindergartens, and independent kindergartens.

Some families have expressed concerns that young children who are transitioning to LMSD elementary schools for kindergarten or first grade would have a hard time adjusting to a new, earlier school

• schedule. Other families of young children have shared their concerns

around the logistics of managing distinctly different morning schedules for multiple young children in a household.

11

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

An elementary start time of 7:45 am would…

yield a kindergarten schedule that would end at 10:45 am for morning students and begin at 11:35 for afternoon students.

Working parents have communicated the challenges of a half-day kindergarten schedule that is less aligned with their work schedule than the current kindergarten times. Other parents have expressed concerns about the disruption to lunch schedules for afternoon kindergarten attendees.

12

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

An elementary start time of 7:45 am would…

limit the opportunity for meetings and activities that currently

• ccur before school between the hours of 8:00 and 9:00 am.

Staff members have shared concerns that if IEP, GIEP, and other parent meetings continue to be held in the 8:00 am hour, this will lead to time away from their students during the critical first portion of the instructional day and would increase the District’s need for morning substitutes. Music teachers have expressed concerns that if they need to shift their lessons and practices afterschool, transportation may be more challenging for working parents.

13

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

An elementary start time of 7:45 am would…

present challenges for elementary staff with personal childcare arrangements that aren’t available to them prior to the time they would need to leave for work.

Some staff members who commute long distances have reported concerns about their ability to find and access childcare early enough in the morning to make it to work in time to receive students.

14

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

An elementary day that begins and ends before middle and high school would…

eliminate the availability of older students to provide supervision of younger students in the afternoon when they arrive home from school.

Many have expressed concern over the potential lack of supervision of younger students whose families may not be able to make alternative childcare

• arrangements. Students have expressed concern over the lack of babysitting

wages. Other students have commented that they may be asked to be responsible for getting their younger siblings ready for school in the morning, thereby eliminating the sleep potential that comes with a later start time.

15

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

An elementary day that begins and ends before middle and high school would…

reduce the availability of high school and middle school students to serve as tutors for programs that support elementary students.

Students and community members have expressed their concern about the loss

• f tutoring opportunities coordinated between our secondary and elementary

schools and by community-based non-profit programs.

16

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

Dismissal times 4:05 pm for middle school would…

• verlap with the start of extracurricular programs in the community.

Many students and families – particularly those of middle school students - have expressed deep concern with a dismissal time that overlaps with the starting time of many community-based activities and programs. Many have expressed concerns that a 4:05 middle school dismissal would greatly interfere with the religious school schedules of many of our students.

17

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

Dismissal times 4:05 pm for middle school would…

strain the school-based extracurricular programs.

Many staff members and students have expressed concern over the availability of middle school staff to continue sponsoring clubs and coaching teams at times that are an hour later. Students report they may have to choose between participating in club sports and school sports as a result of overlapping schedules.

18

Meeting of the Board of School Directors January 27, 2020

Dismissal times that are later for high school and middle school would…

constrict the amount of time available after school for other activities and commitments.

Families and students have expressed concerns with the amount of time they would have available after school to fit in the activities they are interested in continuing as well as completing their homework. Many feel that bedtimes would be further delayed.

On January 6, 2020 we engaged a group of internal staff members who would be responsible for implementing the proposed schedule. The group included activity and athletic directors, curriculum and instruction administration, operations staff, transportation staff, financial services, district administration, and building administrators. The purpose was to initiate a comprehensive risk analysis on the proposed schedule.

Recommendation:

Do not implement the modified re-order schedule in Fall 2020 due to critical risks with limited preventive and/or contingent actions that could be put in place for the 2020-2021 school.

Recommended next steps:

1) Continue with the comprehensive analysis of the modified re-order option. 2) Conduct a risk analysis of not making a change.
