Some scenarios the Anchorage School Board is considering include bumping back start times for all schools and starting younger students earlier in the day, before older students.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - It’s something that would impact every single person in the Anchorage School District. On Monday, during a district work session, the Anchorage School Board revisited the issue of changing school start times post-pandemic.
District consultant Shannon Bingham brought up the history of the school district potentially changing its start times, saying time changes were initially listed as a desired topic in 2016. A lot of work was said to have gone into potential policies by 2018, but the start time changes were not approved then.several key findingsNational research shows that middle school and high school students should not start school until after 8:30 am.
. The board’s consideration of altering school schedules has nothing to do with making up school due to snow days earlier in the academic year, but rather is a new topic for this board, with different members from prior years.
