This will help improve health and academic outcomes for students. This makes it difficult for many teenagers to fall asleep before 11 p. Provide all schools with early release once per week to support common planning time and professional development for teachers.
This will give school staff more time to plan rigorous lessons, prepare materials, collaborate with colleagues, and participate in professional development that will support student achievement. Provide predictability, consistency and clarity for families and school communities.
Moving to 3 start times and standardizing the length of the school day will make it easier to coherently align supports and resources in service of our students.
Save millions of dollars each year on transportation costs, which can instead be spent on directly supporting students. Spacing school start times out will allow the district to use buses more efficiently. If start times are spaced out by 50 minutes , , and , each bus can be used to transport students to three different schools. Changing school start times is a difficult problem.
When you add in constraints about which schools can start at which times and try to account for the unique needs of individual school communities, the problem becomes even more complex.
In addition to the mathematical complexity of the problem, any changes are inevitably going to make some people unhappy. Every school that shifts to a new start time is going to have some families and school staff who are thrilled with the changes, and others who will struggle to make the new time work for them. All three have experience working on similar transportation optimization problems for places like Boston Public Schools, Denver Public Schools, and Lyft.
The following guiding principles were used when developing the new start times: Seek solutions that are fiscally responsible while holding equity at the center. Start all schools at one of three times: , , or Start PK SDC programs at stand-alone early education schools at am so students have the same experience as their general education peers.
Standardize the length of the school day for elementary and middle schools and align early release on Wednesday afternoons. Seek to minimize the degree of change between the new start times and pre-pandemic start times for elementary schools. Start middle schools at am and start high schools at am to bring SFUSD into compliance with SB which requires secondary students to have later start times by July 1, Give K-8 schools the option of another year to transition their middle school grades to a am start time.

Even in a polarized era, the survey reveals deep divisions in both partisan coalitions.
Use this tool to compare the groups on some key topics and their demographics. Pew Research Center now uses as the last birth year for Millennials in our work. President Michael Dimock explains why. About Pew Research Center Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world. It conducts public opinion polling, demographic research, media content analysis and other empirical social science research.
Pew Research Center does not take policy positions. It is a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts. Newsletters Donate My Account. Research Topics. As Kara Voght recently wrote in The Atlantic , that leaves a daily gap of unsupervised time for many children, forcing their parents to find affordable care for their kid or to adjust their own working schedule. Why does the school day end two hours before the workday? The schedules that dictate most of American K life descend from times when fewer households had two working parents.
The result is a school day that frazzles just about everybody. But a few changes could mitigate that frazzling significantly.
A later start, in both middle and high school, would help with the later sleep cycles that are typical in teenage years. But when class starts before —as the most recent federal data indicates it does at 87 percent of American public high schools—waking up in time for school cuts into needed sleep. Postponing the start of the school day, researchers have found, does lead middle and high schoolers to get more rest —they don't just stay up later.
And then, once better-rested, studies show that teens do better in school , get in fewer car crashes , and are less prone to depression. Half past eight—the target for many start-school-later advocates—is actually still earlier than would be totally ideal.
In the plus years since Wahlstrom conducted that first study, hundreds of schools have moved back their start times, according to the advocacy group Start School Later, which does its best to count in absence of an official government tally.
More than a thousand American schools have extended their school days by an hour and a half , and many charter schools, which have more latitude than normal public ones, have school days that end closer to when work does. I asked Brown what her ideal school-day schedule would look like, if she could start from scratch. The day would end at 5 or , but the extended day's extra hours wouldn't be spent solely in the classroom. And the obstacles to changing it usually fall under three general categories: sports, buses, and funding.
