A
B
A
D
F
After
8
30.
and
so
there's
was
a
kind
of
a
golden
era
of
school
start
time,
conversion
that
happened,
but
right
after
that
pronouncement
leading
up
until
the
pandemic,
we're
up
probably
eight
or
ten
big
American
districts,
converted
from
the
traditional
start
times
that
were
earlier
and
had
all
always
had
High
School
in
first
position
to
the
more
research
supported,
start
time
positions
and
then
during
the
pandemic
we
were
obviously
not
much
happened
for
about
a
two-year
period
and
post
pandemic.
F
F
The
research
is
is
mixed,
but
the
majority
of
it
is
very
complementary
to
Ward
later
start
times
for
high
school
and
middle
school
students,
resulting
in
them
truly
getting
more
sleep
and,
in
many
cases
a
recommended
amount
of
sleep,
and
there
are
some
health
outcomes
that
a
lot
of
longitudinal
Studies
have
confirmed.
There
is
some
opposition
research,
most
changes
that
have
happened,
result
in
order
swapping
for
the
various
academic
levels.
So,
for
example,
if
you
put
high
school
or
middle
school
earlier,
you
must
put
elementary
school
earlier.
F
If
you
put
high
school
or
middle
school
later,
you
have
to
put
Elementary
earlier
and
a
lot
of
the
instructional
support
for
this
issue
is
really
confirming
that.
Probably
two-thirds
of
our
instructional
leadership
and
our
teachers
believe
that
elementary
school
children
have
a
power
band
and
it
begins
to
lag
at
about
1
30
in
the
afternoon.
F
So
we've
done
quite
a
bit
of
anecdotal
questioning
of
teachers
and
focus
groups
and
principals
and
focus
groups,
and
they
all
seem
to
probably
65
to
70
percent
of
them
clearly
agreed
that
Elementary
School
students
run
out
of
gas
early
afternoon
and
their
best
learning
capability
is
happening
earlier
in
the
day.
So
an
earlier
start
for
elementary
school
students,
at
least
in
the
in
the
Anchorage
experience,
would
probably
be
a
constructive
thing.
F
Other
major
university
researchers,
Kyla
wallstrom
at
the
University
of
Minnesota,
have
actually
done
quite
a
bit
of
research
on
this
topic
and
indicated
that
the
University
Research
Community
really
believes
that
Elementary
School
students
learn
better
earlier.
F
There
are
a
variety
of
factions
that
I
will
talk
about
that,
have
an
opinion
one
way
or
the
other
of
where
school
should
start,
where
school
would
end
just
to
very
quickly
identify
those
those
are
high
school
students,
middle
school
students
and
a
lot
of
after
school
activities,
high
school
students
with
jobs.
Those
are
families
that
have
an
elementary
school,
a
student
that
receives
Child
Care
from
an
older
student
that
needs
to
be
available.
F
It
is
also
some
teachers
and
parents
believe
that
it's
challenging
for
a
lot
of
parents
to
get
their
students
to
school
in
the
morning
anyhow,
and
at
the
elementary
level
going
even
earlier,
it
could
be
a
challenge
in
some
of
our
schools,
so
those
have
been
some
of
the
points
of
view.
Most
of
the
research
is
confirming
decreased
daytime,
sleepiness,
increased
attendance
and
graduation
rates
test
scores,
especially
in
first
period.
F
For
the
first
time
you
see
Elementary
and
first
position
and
every
one
of
those
currently
we
have
Elementary
is
our
third
start,
so
I
mean
every
one
of
those
we
put
Elementary
first
and
either
followed
with
middle,
followed
by
high
or
followed
by
High
School,
followed
by
middle
school.
So
when
you
put
High
School
in
second
position,
you
gain
back
the
faction
of
high
school
students
that
say:
I
have
an
after-school
job
and
I.
Don't
really
want
to
go
last,
because
that
gives
me
less
hours
after
school.
F
Some
orders
are
set
up
to
cater
to
the
high
school
student
that
has
a
child
care
responsibility
for
an
elementary
age
sibling,
and
so
some
of
the
orders
where
high
school
gets
out
before
Elementary
are
preferred
in
those
communities,
because
those
students
can
loop
around
and
pick
up
a
younger
sibling.
F
After
the
initial
discussion
of
one
two
and
three,
we
came
up
with
four
and
five
which
are
listed
there.
We
also
pushed
start
times
back
to
it
to
eight
o'clock,
and
that
was
one
of
the
consistent
things
that
we
found
anecdotally
and
all
of
our
focus
group
activity
and
in
2018
we
did
45
events
of
one
type
or
another
I
think
we
may
have
done
more
than
that,
but
I
know
we
did
35
focus
groups
and
I
think
we
did
a
dozen
open
houses
consistently.
F
The
idea
of
starting
school
at
eight
o'clock
was
considered
to
be
desirable.
I
interviewed
the
Anchorage
trans
traffic
engineering
Department's
lead
scheduler
this
morning,
and
he
said
rush
hour
in
Anchorage
is
from
seven
to
nine.
There's
not
much
variance
between
seven
and
nine
and
almost
all
of
our
scenarios
show
some
sort
of
a
start
between
seven
and
nine.
F
Obviously
we
are
releasing
mid-afternoon
so
end
of
day
rush
hour
is
less
of
a
factor.
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
learned
from
talking
with
our
transportation
department
is
that
morning
drop
is
significantly
less
complicated
than
afternoon
pickup,
because
in
the
morning
students
who
are
being
transported
in
a
parent
vehicle
or
just
dropped
off
they
go
inside
and
that's
it
I'm.
In
the
afternoon,
parents
are
waiting
so
there's
a
10
or
a
15
minute
traffic,
snarl
associated
with
parent
stacking
and
queuing
and
getting
in
position
to
pick
up
students.
F
So
on
scenario,
four
and
five
there,
the
first
scenario
you
see
the
high
school
would
start
at
eight
o'clock.
Elementary
would
start
at
8,
45,
Middle
School
would
start
at
9
30..
We
queried
our
Heist
our
transportation
staff
about
doing
what's
called
compressing
the
window
which
a
lot
of
districts
have
thrown
a
significant
amount
of
money
at
right.
Now
we
have
45
minutes
between
starts,
and
so
we
queried
transportation
to
see
if
they
could
go
to
40
minutes
between
starts
or
35
minutes,
and
their
consistent
answer
was
no.
F
F
If
you
will
and
there's
really
not
much
movement,
there
I
believe
that
we
are
probably
going
to
have
to
make
whatever
change
we
make
within
the
45
minutes
between
starts
framework
under
four
you
see,
Elementary
would
start
at
8
45
into
3
15.,
so
that
solution
allows
students
that
high
school
students
that
have
a
child
care
responsibility
time
to
get
in
a
vehicle
loop
back
around
and
pick
up
a
Elementary
age
sibling.
F
We
significantly
presented
the
Castle's
data
from
a
very
high
quality
longitudinal
study
conducted
in
Cherry,
Creek,
School,
District,
heavily
traffic
impacted
School
District.
That
effort
was
led
by
Dr
Lisa
Meltzer
and
by
Dr
Kyla
wallstrom,
and
they
pretty
much
got
all
of
the
expected
results
from
their
start
time,
change
that
were
concurrent
or
that
were
consistent
with
what
other
researchers
had
found.
Kids
were
getting
better
grades
in
first
period,
they
were
significantly
less
likely
to
be
sleepy.
There
were
significantly
fewer
depression
indicators.
G
We
did
take
advice
of
some
of
you
and
we
added
those
into
our
our
Town
Halls,
just
a
reminder
that
plcs
are
nationally
recognized
model
and
we're
really
looking
to
be
able
to
get
some
extra
time
for
our
teachers
to
be
able
to
have
some
collaborative
time
to
work
and
and
build,
and
especially
like
in
the
next
year,
working
with
our
English
or
Ela
adoption
at
K3
and
really
being
able
to
work
on
the
the
school
board
goals
and
guardrails
the
next
slide.
G
G
If
you
wait
till
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
our
model
at
a
couple
of
the
high
schools,
had
it
at
the
end
of
the
day
where
it
ended
up
being
very
disruptive,
because
there
was
still
students
there,
it
takes
away
the
opportunity
to
offer
some
tutoring
options
after
school.
If
you
do
it
at
after
school.
So
we
we
with
the
high
schools
we
went
with
the
morning
and
that's
what
we're
asking
we're
recommending
for
the
PLC
time.
Mondays
is
the
highest
attendance
rate
fright
some
people
said
well,
why
don't?
G
We
do
Fridays,
there's
so
many
activities
on
Fridays
and
so
many
days
where
we
miss
the
Fridays
because
of
in-services
and
stuff
that
we
missed
so
many
so
many
times
for
those
plc's.
The
next
couple
slides
were
just
adding
in
that
extra
hour
for
late
start.
If
the
one
I'd
focus
on.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
there
Kathy
is
Senate.
If
you
look
at
scenario,
five
with
Elementary
School
students,
the
late
start
would
be
at
nine
o'clock,
which
is
when
elementary
schools
go
to
school.
Now
right.
G
So,
instead
of
eight
o'clock,
they
would
start
at
nine
high
schools
instead
of
8
45.
They
would
start
at
9
45,
just
on
that
one
day
each
week,
so
anyways
that
we
did
add
that
into
our
Our
Town
Hall.
So
I
wanted
to
show
you
those
particular
spreadsheets
there.
If
you
have
questions
about
that,
I
can
answer
in
a
bit.
H
You
mad
president,
so
do
any
other!
You
said
that
this
was
some
sort
of
nationally
recognized
thing,
but
can
you
give
us
an
example
of
another
school
district
where
they
only
have
900
instructional
hours
a
year
as
their
goal
that
utilizes
this,
which
you
know
subtracts
significant
instructional
hours
every
year
from
the
students
I
wouldn't.
G
G
F
F
We
had
a
fairly
okay
participation
in
the
town
halls,
but
during
the
webcast
that
our
technology
folks
ran,
we
had
really
significant
participation
and
I.
Think
the
push
out
efforts
on
the
part
of
our
Communications
staff
really
helped
us
get
a
significant
response.
We
had
9
81
English
responses,
48
Spanish
responses.
We
had
six
Tagalog
responses,
20
Samoan
responses,
and
then
we
had
subsets
of
various
Specialties
such
as
Transportation,
where
we
had
60
six
responses.
Most
response
was
from
parents.
Eighty
percent.
F
We
had
a
lot
of
crossover
where
we
had
parents
and
who
were
also
employees.
Six
23
were
also
employees.
Students
were
about
12
percent
of
their
responses.
We
had
some
very
delightful
conversation
with
our
student
Advisory
Board
during
their
meeting,
and
they
were
very
engaged
in
this
process
about
30
13
of
people
who
participated
were
medical
professionals.
Medical
professionals
were,
in
general,
very
supportive
of
making
a
change.
I
did
some
personal
conversations
with
a
lot
of
medical
professionals
that
had
a
lot
of
strong
opinions
about
the
wisdom
of
making
a
change.
F
As
far
as
the
four
major
issues
that
we
surveyed
on
the
first
one
was
should
middle
and
high
school
students
start
later,
is
it
harmful
for
elementary
students
to
start
earlier
is
cold
and
dark
Winters
snow
and
ice
on
roads
in
the
Alaskan
experience?
Does
that
offset
the
benefit
of
school
start
time?
Changes
issue
three
in
the
wake
of
pandemic
is
now
the
right
time
and
Issue
four.
F
If
it
makes
the
transition
easy
or
should
we
spend
money
to
pay
for
additional
buses
and
drivers
slide
number
12
shows
that
among
teachers
principals,
the
student
Advisory
Board,
we
had
a
support
ranging
from
61
percent
to
79
percent
of
people
that
were
supportive
or
strongly
supportive
of
the
idea
that
middle
and
high
school
students
should
start
later
and
that
earlier
Elementary
start
times
are
not
harmful.
F
A
little
around
a
third
of
people
agreed
that
the
Alaskan
circumstance
offset
school
start
times,
meaning
that
the
majority
did
not
think
it
changed.
How
we
should
be
thinking
about
this
in
the
wake
of
pandemic
is
now
the
right
time
that
support
ranged
from
49
to
63
percent
and
then
finally,
should
we
be
spending
money
to
lessen
some
of
the
impacts
us
that
agreement
with
that
statement
ranged
from
50
to
57
percent
by
level
at
the
elementary
start
level
going
earlier,
70
percent
of
teachers
supported
it.
F
92
percent
of
principals
supported
it
78
of
the
student
advisory
boards
supported
it
and
at
the
general
Town
Halls,
where
participants
heard
the
lecture
before
they
took
the
quiz
60
supported
that
regarding
later
start
times
for
Middle
School,
it
was
72
support
for
teachers,
85
for
principals
89
for
the
student
Advisory
Board
67
percent
at
the
Town
Halls,
where
people
heard
the
research
later
start
times
than
currently
for
high
school
79
in
favor,
among
teachers,
95
principles,
89
student,
Advisory,
Board,
and
of
the
participants
in
the
town
hall,
69
percent.
F
Regarding
everyone,
meaning
people
who
did
not
hear
the
lecture
before
they
took
the
quiz,
meaning
folks
that
just
took
this
online
without
hearing
the
presentation,
support
for
middle
and
high
school
students
starting
later
in
elementary
earlier
Elementary
start
times
doing
no
harm.
Teachers
were
in
favor
by
56
percent
principles,
79
percent
students,
63
percent
parents,
50
percent-
everybody
was
52.
F
This
is
everybody
lumped
together
into
one
pile
cold,
dark
winners,
aka
the
Alaskan
experience
again
we're
at
about
a
third
of
people.
Agreeing
with
that
statement.
In
the
wake
of
the
pandemic,
you
can
read
that
on
your
own,
I
would
say:
teachers,
parents
and
everyone
was
coming
in
in
the
mid
40s
and
then
principals
and
students
were
thinking.
Now
was
the
right
time,
ranging
60
to
63
percent.
Additional
funding
should
be
expended
within
the
high
50s
for
the
most
part.
F
Moving
on
the
page,
15
support
my
level
with
everyone
lumped
in
you
can
see
that
earlier
start
times.
Concurrent
for
elementary
was
supported
by
66
percent
of
teachers,
92
percent
of
principals,
64
percent
of
students,
55
percent
of
parents,
57
percent
of
everyone
later
for
middle
school
was
supported,
ranging
from
66
to
85
percent.
Later
for
high
school
was
supported,
ranging
from
69
to
95
percent,
with
principles,
whether
they
were
engaged
in
a
focus
group
or
not
or
strongly
in
favor
percent
of
folks.
F
Responding
to
the
statement
do
you
think
earlier
start
times
would
be
beneficial,
neutral
or
harmful
for
Elementary
School
students.
You
can
look
at
that
and
see
beneficial
and
somewhat
beneficial.
Was
that
about
32
percent
and
then
neutral
was
about
31
percent
and
then
over
on
the
harmful
and
somewhat
harmful
side.
We
were
seeing
36
of
response
to
that
so
32
to
36
percent,
beneficial
versus
harmful.
F
A
lot
of
folks
that
felt
they
didn't
know
at
about
30
31
percent
highest
ranking
concerns
anecdotally
elementary
students
walking
in
darkness,
59,
middle
and
high
school
students
in
sports
and
extracurriculars
52
percent
after
school
Child
Care
50
high
school
students
with
after-school
jobs,
47
percent,
older
students
who
need
to
be
available
to
provide
child
care,
42
percent.
So
those
were
what
I
alluded
to
at
the
start
of
the
presentation
as
what
I
call
the
factions.
These
are
consistent
in
every
school
district
that
considers
this
issue.
F
Those
five
groups
always
emerge
and
have
a
strong
bearing
on
the
direction
in
which
school
start
time
goes.
Concerns
by
group
changes
and
work
schedules
were
cited
by
44
percent
of
teachers.
Students
said
35
percent
of
the
students
that
participated
said
after
school.
Child
Care
was
an
issue
for
them.
Principles
were
not
as
concerned
about
high
school
students
with
after-school
jobs.
Only
21
percent
listed
that
so
they
were
on
the
low
side
among
medical
professionals
I'm.
Looking
at
page
19.,
we
had
some
very
strong
response.
F
We
had
about
167
doctors,
about
377
nurses,
55
nurse
practitioners
and
a
whole
bunch
of
people
532
and
other
Medical
Specialties,
and
on
page
20
there
is
a
word
scramble
of
all
of
their
capacities
with
the
most
prominent
being
in
the
center
among
medical
professionals.
They
were
very
supportive
of
us
making
a
change
on
page
21.
You
will
see
among
for
earlier
start
times
and
currently
for
elementary
66
of
Pediatricians
were
in
favor.
F
42
percent
of
sleep
specialists-
everyone
was
57
percent
regarding
later
times
for
Middle
School,
it
was
65,
75,
66
and
later
start
times
for
high
school
was
72,
67
71,
so
two-thirds
of
them
or
70,
roughly
Transportation
staff,
we
particip
had
66
participants
and
pretty
much
consistently.
The
drivers
schedulers
supervisors
felt
that
we
have
pushed
the
window
to
the
Ragged
Edge
already
and
45
minutes
is
still
resulting
in
the
average
driver
having
about
25
late
arrivals
a
year.
F
So,
given
the
climatological
impacts
of
driving
around
here,
especially
after
snowmageddon
I,
think
that's
completely
to
be
expected.
F
The
last
page
is
just
a
summary.
Pretty
much
the
majority
of
participants
support
making
a
change,
especially
in
moving
middle
and
high
school
students.
Later
there
is
support
for
moving
Elementary
to
an
earlier
time.
The
support
for
that
is
not
as
strong,
but
again
we
have
a
three-tier
transportation
system.
We
cannot
compress
it
into
a
two-tier
transportation
system.
Financially,
that's
what
Seattle
did.
There
have
been
other
districts
that
have
expended
resources
in
order
to
facilitate
that.
F
We
are
clearly
not
in
that
position,
so
we
have
to
work
with
the
structure
that
we
have
and
I
would
say
that
focus
groups
in
town
hall,
participants
who
heard
the
research
were
more
likely
to
be
in
favor
of
making
a
change
than
General
online
respondents
who
did
not
have
the
benefit
of
the
presentation.
F
B
You
very
much
I'd
like
to
just
for
the
record
member
Higgins
has
joined
us
online.
He
joined
us
around
I
think
418.,
so
he
did
get
most
of
the
presentation
all
right.
So,
let's
we'll
start
with
questions,
I'm
inclined
to
just
go
around
the
room.
B
Remember
Jacobs!
You
want
to
kick
us
off.
I
Sure,
thank
you,
madam
president,
appreciate
the
the
presentation
on
all
the
works
that
went
into
the
town
halls.
I
was
able
to
attend
two
of
the
three
and
and
thought
the
production
quality
of
the
engagements,
and
the
information
was
really
well
done
and
laid
out
the
case
and
I
think
the
data
Bears
it
out
that
once
folks
gained
additional
expertise
in
the
area
that
malaid
some
of
the
concerns,
I
two
questions
in
an
effort
to
be
efficient.
I
The
first
in
terms
of
next
steps
is
the
District
administration
open
to
considering,
especially
with
staff,
input
and
teacher
input,
educator
input,
support
staff
input,
reimagining
a
potential
date
and
time
change
for
professional
development
if
it's
more
well
received
by
staff.
So
if
it's
something
that
staff
are
more
amendable
to
at
a
different
date
and
time
while
we're
looking
at
these
changes,
my
my
ask
is
that
we
be
open
to
that
conversation
as
part
of
next
steps.
I,
don't
know
where
that'll
land
but
I
think
it's
another
good
data
point.
I
The
second
was
a
point
that
actually
came
up
during
the
last
Town
Hall
I
believe
just
looking
kind
of
globally
at
our
municipality.
We
have
a
municipal
proposition
14
scheduled
to
be
voted
on
ending
tomorrow,
which
could
fundamentally
change
What,
Child
Care
looks
like
in
Anchorage
forever,
which
is
really
exciting,
but
that's
going
to
take
some
time
to
onboard,
and
this
is
a
big
change
and
I.
Think
that
there
is
some
have
indicated,
might
be
a
benefit
to
making
a
commitment
to
making
a
big
change
regarding
start
times.
I
But
given
the
the
timing
and
the
work
that
would
need
to
be
involved,
pushing
that
back
a
year
and
giving
that
time
for
proposition
14
to
take
hold
and
then
allowing
the
community
time
to
plan
and
prepare.
Is
that
something
that
an
Administration
has
looked
at?
Thank
you.
E
Sure,
if
I
understand
the
the
question
correctly,
member
Jacobs
number
one,
are
you
asking
if
the
administration
would
be
open
to
choosing
a
different
date
other
than
Monday
for
the
plc's
yeah.
I
Anything
from
Monday
morning
to
Friday
afternoon,
I,
guess
I
hope
we're
looking
at
all
parts
of
the
process
to
make
sure
they're
still
what
are
most
valuable
to
staff
and
what
works
best
for
students
and
so
I'm
not
sure
that
Monday
morning
is
still
in
that
category.
It
might
be
the
case
but
I
hope
we're
asking.
E
That
question
sure
I
know
one
metric
that
we
did
look
at
was
staff
attendance
as
Mr
Gustafson
alluded
to
and
I
think
that's
a
very
important
element
for
us
to
consider
and
seem
that,
because
of
activities
and
other
obligations
and
staff
attendance,
it's
really
important
that
as
many
staff
as
possible
participate
in
the
plc's
That's
How
we'll
get
the
biggest
bang
for
a
buck.
E
Could
there
be
a
different
day
other
than
Monday
perhaps,
but
we
did
want
to
be
consistent
for
our
high
school
communities
that
have
been
used
to
late
start
on
a
Monday,
so
it
would
be
an
alignment
and
strategically
it
makes
sense
to
keep
them
all
on
the
same
day
versus
having
a
different
late
start
day
depending
on
your
level.
If
that
makes
sense,
so
it
is
complicated.
E
We
have
looked
into
it,
but
we
do
feel
that
Monday
would
be
ideal
just
given
the
record
of
success
that
we've
seen
with
high
school
over
the
past
couple
years,
but
we'll
certainly
continue
to
look
at
the
data
number
two.
If
I
understand
your
question
correctly,
it's
would
the
administration
be
open
to
postponing
the
the
search
term
for
another
year,
so
we
can
see
how
things
work
out
with
proposition
14.
I
Well,
just
a
scenario
where
you
know:
plcs
are
implemented
immediately
and
we
the
board,
makes
a
commitment
to
plan
and
approve
a
proposal
that
would
take
effect.
Not
this
fall,
but
the
following
fall:
I'm,
not
indicating
that's
my
preference
I'm
just
making
sure
we're
looking
at
every
option
at
the
start
of
the
process.
So
we
don't
have
to
double
back
later.
E
Sure
so
that's
something
that
we've
discussed
and
are
open
to
considering
I
think
that's
reasonable,
but
we
would
also
like
to
hear
from
other
board
members
if
there's
a
preference
for
planning
year
versus
you
know
just
kind
of
implementing
both
of
these
changes
to
start
times.
At
the
same
time,
what
I
will
say
is
I
I
do
feel
some
urgency
to
implement
plc's
now,
if
it's
the
will
of
the
board,
because
we
have
our
Ela
curriculum
adoption
and
it's
directly
aligned
to
the
board
goals.
E
So
it
would
be
a
matter
of
weighing
making
all
the
changes
at
once
or
making
two
adjustments
to
family
start
times
over
two
years.
So
that's
really
the
decision
that
we
have
to
make
is
there
anything
I
left
off
team.
G
Another
thing
that
we
also
have
is,
in
a
year
looking
at
sixth
grade
moving
sixth
grade
to
middle
school,
so
that
will
be
a
change
also,
so
it
might
work
out
to
do
it
all
that
at
once,.
D
Lessons
less
of
a
a
question
follow
I,
have
concerns
from
a
child
care
perspective
about
what
a
late
start
means,
especially
for
let's
say,
scenario:
five,
which
is
I'll,
be
very
clear:
it's
the
one
I'm
most
in
favor
of,
but
that
makes
a
10
30
start
for
Middle
School
really
challenging
for
most
parents,
and
you
know
I
think
that
morning
drop-offs,
you
know
I
appreciated
the
point
about
morning,
Dropbox
versus
afternoon,
pickups
I,
think
families
really
appreciate
rhythms
in
getting
out
the
door
and
a
steady,
just
a
steady
plan
for
every
morning
having
one
morning
dramatically
different
could
be
a
very
substantial
challenge
for
a
family
who
needs
to
find
child
care
that
one
morning,
if,
if
a
family
of
elementary
with
elementary
students,
for
example,
is
relying
on
I
think
one
of
the
benefits
of
an
earlier
start
time
for
elementary
students
is
that
it
mitigates
for
many
families
the
need
for
morning,
child
care
and
afternoon
child
care.
D
D
But
when
you
add
one
morning
to
the
mix
they're
going
to
have
to
figure
out
how
to
ramp
up
their
care
offerings
one
day
a
week
and
I
just
don't
see
that
as
a
tenable
solution
for
a
lot
of
families,
so
building
on
member
Jacob's
thoughts
and
comments
and
and
feedback
from
town
halls
that
I
attended,
I
am
strongly
supportive
of
plc's,
but
would
respectfully
ask
the
administration
to
consider
a
Monday
afternoon.
I
appreciate
the
other
concerns
about
school
and
after
school
activities.
D
Tutoring
Sports,
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
those
things
happen
on
Tuesday
Thursday,
as
well
as
Fridays
I
think
that
it
would
be
easier
for
families
to
manage
an
early
release
right.
If
so,
if
we're
talking
about
campfire,
let's
just
say-
and
there
was
an
early
release
for
elementary
students
one
day
a
week,
it
seems
like
campfire
or
other
organizations
might
be
able
to
scale
up
those
after-school
Child
Care
offerings
it
also,
quite
frankly,
as
I'm
thinking
out
loud.
D
You
know
if
there
are
other
after
school,
like
enrichment
providers,
music,
lessons
soccer
clubs
right
those
are
things
that
maybe
could
be
scaled
up
on
those
early
release.
Afternoons,
whereas
I
don't
think
that
that
would
happen
for
a
late
start,
so
I'll
pause
there,
I'm
I'm
tremendously
enthusiastic
about
moving
forward
with
the
start
time.
Changes
I
think
that
this
needed
to
have
happened
years
ago,
so
I
would
encourage
forward
movement
and
a
consideration
of
late.
D
E
D
Just
in
general
I
think
that
so,
if
under
scenario,
five
again,
I
think
that
anything
this
that
disrupts
a
morning
routine,
if
you
are
a
family
and
you
are
ready
to
get
your
Elementary
student
to
school
on
time
for
an
8
AM
start
time.
That
means
that
you
know
you
can
be
doing
your
job.
D
You
know
shortly
thereafter,
if
that's
delayed
for
an
hour
one
day
a
week,
that's
pickup
that
families
haven't
had
to
deal
with
before
and
I
think
that
holds
true
with
all
three
levels:
elementary
high
school
and
middle,
because
there
are
kids
getting
bust,
their
kids
getting
driven.
It's
the
P.
It's
that
morning,
PLC
change!
You
know!
One
of
these
things
is
not
like
the
other,
so
I
think
that
to
me
that
would
be
the
largest
it's
a
logistical
hurdle
to
ask
tens
of
thousands
of
families
to
deal
with.
B
So
remember,
thank
you,
member
lessons.
Remember
Halloween
your
comments.
J
Yeah
I'll
I'll
follow
up
and
agree
with
member
lessons
on
this
for
people
that
have
to
have
some
kind
of
arrangement
every
day
when
I
worked
at
Diamond
and
I
had
to
be
at
school
at
six
A.M.
J
Getting
my
son
to
elementary
school
was
an
issue,
but
there
are
some
programs
that
start
that
early,
the
transport
kids
and
they
will
probably
make
the
adjustment.
But
if
you
were
a
family
where
9
30
just
barely
worked
for
you,
and
that
was
enough
time
to
drop
your
child
off
and
go
suddenly,
you've
got
to
come
up
with
something
that
works
one
day
a
week
and
especially
in
Anchorage,
there
aren't
a
lot
of
things
one
day
a
week.
There
are
some
things
five
days
a
week.
J
If
you
got
the
money
but
yeah
I
I
would
like
for
us
to
investigate
if
we
can
have
some
kind
of
supervised
activity
that
would
start
at
the
normal
time
so
that
parents
that
do
have
to
drop
their
kids
off
know
that
they're
going
to
be
going
to
classrooms
or
going
to
a
gym
where
they
may
be
supervised
by
support
staff
or
or
some
other
creative
arrangement.
We
haven't
thought
yet
so
that
for
at
least
those
families
there's
an
option
for
things
to
be
normal
in
the
morning,
I
I
think.
J
Of
of
families
mornings
are
stressful,
they
have
a
routine
that
works
and
they
crank
through
it.
And
if
something
disrupts
that,
like
you,
suddenly
discover
you're
out
of
milk
everything's
off
the
tracks
and
you
gotta
yeah
and-
and
this
is
worse
than
that
so
yeah
I
I-
would
hope.
We
could
look
at
something
to
make
it
the
same
for
the
people
that
are
doing
their
own
transportation
and
and
realize
that
they
come
with
a
cost.
J
But
I
think
we
need
to
at
least
consider
that
I
do
understand
the
part
about
doing
it
in
the
in
the
afternoon.
J
Yeah
there
is
that
feeling
that
you
know
the
final
Bell
Rings
for
the
last
hour,
and
teachers
are
done
for
the
day,
I'd
love
to
take
a
vote
from
our
teachers
and
find
out
how
many
agree
with
that
statement.
I'm
going
to
say
it's,
probably
a
very
small
number,
so
I
see
the
need
for
it
to
be
in
the
morning,
but
I
see
the
need
for
us
to
try
to
keep
the
some
kind
of
arrangement,
so
that
start
times
can
be
consistent.
B
Thank
you,
member
Higgins.
Did
you
have
questions
comments
at
this
time.
C
Just
one
second,
let
me
get
a
couple
of
comments.
First
of
all,
I
appreciate
the
presentation
I
like
the
way
the
presentation
was
on
pros
and
cons,
and
it
it
did
a
very
good
job
of
that.
That's
one
of
the
issues
I've
had
in
the
past
and
I
think
this
addressed
it
very
well.
I,
like
the
presentation
to
the
community
I'm,
also
proud
of
the
responses
from
the
community,
their
their
responses,
and
some
of
the
comments
will
all
Focus
what's
best
for
kids.
C
What
can
we
do
and
I
know
it
interrupts
a
lot
of
people,
but
the
some
of
the
comments
acknowledge
stuff,
but
they
put
the
the
welfare
of
students
first
and
people
understood
that
I
think
this
is
the
opportunity
to
go
forward
with
the
changes
we
need
both
of
them.
I
know
it's
not
going
to
be
easy.
C
C
So
my
like
I,
said
my
appreciation
to
Administration
I
like
it
when
you're
identifying
both
issues
at
the
same
time
pros
and
cons
and
I
think
this
is
moving
in
this
direction
on
both
issues
is
a
as
much
as
it's
going
to
be
tough
for
family.
B
C
B
Thank
you.
So
the
good
thing
is
I've
not
had
anyone
tell
me
no
on
the
plc's
really
they
people
understand
that
that
is
needed,
but
what
keeps
coming
up
is
the
early
start
versus
the
early
release
it
keeps
coming
up
over
and
over
and
over
again
so
I
agree.
We
need
to
probably
if
we
can
look
at
that
and
see
if
we
can
make
the
early
release
work
or
what
would
be
the
the
pros
and
cons
of
making
of
doing
that.
B
B
If
there
maybe
they
won't
be
any
impact
and
I
think
I.
Think
Mr
Gustafson
addressed
that
at
the
South
High
School,
Town,
Hall
I
think,
but
it's
it
still
comes
to
me
in
in
emails
along
with
how
will
activities
be
impacted?
So
if
we
can
create
some
kind
of
some,
you
know
put
more
information
on
those
two
things,
but
I
agree.
I
think
we
are
long
past
doing
making
this
work.
Making
this
decision
I
wish
I
had
a
crystal
ball
for
prop
14
I.
B
Don't
I
feel
good
about
it,
though,
but
we'll
know
tomorrow
at
least
we'll
have
a
good
idea
tomorrow.
So
so
anyway,
but
those
things
keep
coming
up
the
early
start
versus
early
release.
What
about
kids,
who
have
Zone
Exempted
into
a
certain
School,
and
what
what
are
the
problems
or
what
can
we
do
for
those
kids
and
then
the
activities
and
how
especially
high
school
and
middle
school
kids
would
be
impacted.
So.
G
G
As
far
as
the
the
early,
the
late
start
for
middle
and
high
school,
you
know
we
always
when
there's
a
need.
We
always
make
something
happen
right.
So
if
it
was
needing
a
time
where
it's
kids
getting
washed
before
school
or
even
after
school
now,
we
would
make
sure
we
have
that
with
our
Paras
or
security
or
what
have
you
as
far
as
like
our
Zone
exempt
kids,
you
know,
I
I,
don't
know
any
school
that
doesn't
have
a
spot
for
kids
when
they
get
dropped
off
early
right.
G
We
always
have
somewhere
for
kids
to
be
because
we
always
have
parents
that
have
different
schedules,
and
it
doesn't
matter
if
it's
now
or
or
at
a
different
start
time.
We
will
always
make
sure
I
mean
we're
not
going
to
lock
the
door
and
not
let
them
come
in
the
school
of
course
right,
but
and
as
far
as
activities
goes,
I'll
tell
you.
G
If,
if
you
looked
at
even
number
five
there
with
Elementary,
if
Elementary
goes
first,
if
we
were
to
change
the
start
times
and
elementaries
went
first,
there's
a
lot
more
buses
that
actually
bus
elementary
kids
than
middle
or
high
school
at
any
given
time
and
that
actual
schedule
would
open
up
a
lot
of
buses
so
that
we
could
actually
have
our
our
actual
games
start
earlier
in
the
evenings.
G
Because,
right
now
we
have
like
a
two
hour
wait
time,
because
we
have
to
let
all
the
Elementary
buses
run,
get
the
kids
home
before
we
can
even
use
a
bus
for
a
middle
or
high
school
activity.
So
a
lot
of
our
events
can't
even
happen
until
later,
and
if
you
look
at
like
volleyball,
they
go
until
10
o'clock
or
later
at
the
high
school
level,
because
of
the
fact
that
the
buses
can't
pick
up
kids
until
later
in
the
evening.
G
If
Elementary
is
going
first,
we
can
actually
we'll
actually
have
buses
after
middle
school
and
high
school
time.
So
we
can
get
out
to
Kincaid
Park
earlier
and
out
to
you
know.
Well,
I
still
have
to
have
a
trip
out
there
or
something
so
we
could
actually
get
those
earlier.
So
yes,
it'll
be
a
little
darker
if
we
go
45
minutes
later
for
high
school,
but
I
think
with
the
actual
buses
being
opened
up
now
for
those
activities,
I
think
it
makes
up
for
that.
I
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
appreciate
the
comments
by
President
Bellamy.
The
the
one
thing
I
guess
I
would
reiterate,
is
while
we're
examining
the
placement
when
that
PLC
time
is
I,
think
it's
imperative.
We
involve
staff.
In
that
conversation,
it's
their
time.
I
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
a
voice
in
that,
and
so
that's
something
I'm
going
to
be
looking
for
when
we
get
to
the
other
side
of
those
results
and
and
what
comes
up
the
conversation
I
understand
that
we
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen
with
proposition
14
I,
due
to
everything
happening
regarding
K-12
funding
in
our
state
I'm
nervous
to
have
to
identify
ways
with
our
current
resources
to
fill
the
gap
between
the
the
normal
start
time
versus
the
change
start
time
versus
the
even
further
move
back
PLC
time
and
what
that
might
cost.
I
Ideally,
if
proposition
14
were
to
pass
it's,
it
is
a
huge
neon
sign
for
a
public
private
partnership
where
we
can
have
someone
utilize.
The
funding.
That's
going
to
be
allocated
through
the
committee
structure
that
the
proposition
would
create
for
a
one-day
week.
Solution
I
mean
it
just.
It
makes
so
much
sense
that
I
think
folks,
who
are
less
optimistic,
would
say.
Of
course
that
means
it
won't
happen,
but
I
I'm
hopeful
that
that
isn't
the
case
here
and
so,
but
we
don't.
I
Unfortunately
we
don't
know
what's
what's
going
to
happen,
that's
going
to
take
some
time
to
get
onboarded
I
am
in
I
am
optimistic
that
this
is
something
the
board
will
adopt.
I
I
hope
we
do
I
think
the
the
key
is
going
to
how
we
make
it
the
least
impactful
for
families
and
how
we
make
it
most
beneficial
for
staff,
because
the
data
says
it's
good
for
kids,
which
is
which
I
think
is
clear.
So
thank
you
for
the
the
presentation.
I
D
I
guess
a
question
would
be:
what
would
you
need
from
the
board
this
evening
in
order
to
prepare
a
memorandum
of
some
sort
for
next
time
for
next
time,.
B
E
Well,
I
think
what
the
team
and
I
will
do
this
week
is
huddle
review
all
the
feedback
that
we
received
today.
That's
very
helpful
and
then
come
forward
with
some
sort
of
recommendation.
So
I
can
report
back
more
on
the
direction.
I
think
we
should
go
by
Friday's
board.
Connect
is
what
I
would
recommend,
but
it
does
sound
like
there
is
support
for
a
PLC
or
some
support
for
exploring
this.
E
We
have
some
outstanding
questions
on
the
timing
this
year
versus
next
year
and
perhaps
with
the
the
late
starts
that
go
a
little
bit
too
late
in
the
morning.
So
those
are
some
things
I
want
to
iron
out
before
we
put
any
memo
forward.
E
Possibly,
but
we
may
not
I,
let
me
huddle
with
the
team,
but
we
it
is
still
possible
that
we
can
have
a
non-action
memo
at
our
next
board
meeting.
B
Okay
I
mean
personally
I
I'm,
not
I,
don't
want
to
delay
a
year,
but
that
would
be,
of
course,
entirely
up
to
the
board.
I.
Just
think
that
the
value
I
mean
we
are
making
a
lot
of
changes,
but
I
think
they're
the
right
things
to
do
for
our
kids
and
our
families
so
but
yeah.
If
we
can
just
we'll
wait
until
you
come
back
to
us
with
round
three.
E
And
then
just
to
be
clear,
likely
the
structure
for
the
memo
on
a
change
to
school
start
times
will
likely
have
one
recommendation.
That's
based
in
the
science
versus
multiple
scenarios
that
we
vote
on
that
day.
Just
so
we're
aware
of
the
format.
I
I
truly
believe
that
if
we
do
make
a
change
to
school
start
times,
it
needs
to
be
grounded
in
what
the
research
says
is
good
for
kids
or
just
remain
status
quo.
B
So
in
in
this,
the
other
I'm
going
back
to
member
Jacob's
comments
around
having
making
sure
we
have
input
from
staff
and
I
guess
I
want
to
clarify
member
Jacobs.
Is
that
input
in
the
PLC
time
or
the
PLC
itself.
I
B
B
Thank
you
all
right
so
with
that
not
seeing
any
other
hands,
I'll
take
a
motion
to
go
into
executive
session
to.
