District news

Start and dismissal times staggered for 2026-27

Day-to-day

What happened

At a special meeting on June 29, 2026 the board approved staggered start and dismissal times for the 2026-27 school year. The recording describes the change as driven by bus routing rather than by any change of educational policy.

Why it matters to families

Start and finish times decide childcare, work schedules and how long a child is on a bus, so a stagger affects families' mornings whether or not the reason for it is educational. Knowing it was done for routing tells parents what the district would have to change to undo it.

The evidence

The June 29, 2026 special meeting recording records approval of staggered start and dismissal times for 2026-27 and attributes the change to bus routing.
