Jefferson County Public Schools announced it is overhauling the start and end times at many of its schools for next school year, allowing middle and high school students to start later in the morning. via robharristv
The district’s plan, called “Healthy & Equitable Start & End Times,” will also work to close gaps in classroom time between Jeffco schools.
Currently, older students in middle and high school often have the earlier start times, despite research showing that they learn better, stay healthier and keep better attendance and graduation rates with later start times that allow them to get better sleep. Beyond broad health and academic benefits, the district said the new schedules will help close gaps in learning between different schools. With the current staggered start times, Jeffco Public Schools said some students are graduating with an extra half a school year of learning time, compared to their peers at other schools.
Because Jeffco, like many school districts, is currently experiencing a bus driver shortage, individual school times will still be slightly different for the time being.
