No bell schedule change for 2026-27, but bus changes still coming

What happened

The district said on July 9, 2026 that it will not change school start and dismissal times for 2026-27, including the middle school activity period and extended day. It had been studying new times to cut bus runs. Some bus routes and stops will still change, and about $2 million in transportation savings must be found another way.

Why it matters to families

Start times, after-school clubs and bus pickup times affect family schedules and child care. The idea may come back after more public input this year.

The evidence

The district news post states there will be no bell schedule change and that transportation-related adjustments are still needed. The July 8 meeting recording mentions the $2 million gap.
