South Sioux City Middle School students and staff held a special Veterans Day celebration on Tuesday, November 10, to honor military veterans and active-duty service members.

Brookings Institution Proposes Solutions for Later School Start Times Without Budget Overruns

Brookings Institution Proposes Solutions for Later School Start Times Without Budget Overruns

The Brookings Institution, in collaboration with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), has explored strategies to implement later school start times without significantly increasing transportation budgets. This initiative addresses the public health recommendation by the American Academy of Pediatrics for high schools to start no earlier than 8:30 a.m., a standard met by less than 30% of public high schools as of 2021. The primary challenge for districts is managing bus fleet costs, as staggering start times allows a single bus to serve multiple schools. Moving high school schedules later often necessitates either shifting elementary/middle school times earlier or purchasing more buses, both of which are disruptive or expensive. For instance, Montgomery County Public Schools estimated a 50-minute delay would cost $21 million annually. Brookings' approach with SFUSD involved creating approximately a thousand potential schedules, allowing district leaders to choose options that comply with state...
