All
right
good
evening,
Welcome
to
our
second
of
three
Community
Town
Hall
events
on
the
school
start
time,
I'm
Sven,
Gustafson
I
am
the
chief
academic
officer
for
the
Anchorage
School
District,
and
we
have
a
a
couple
of
our
school
board.
Members
in
the
audience.
Remember
Kelly.
Lessons
is
here,
as
is
a
member
Andy
Holloman.
So
welcome
to
the
two
of
you
this
evening.
D
We're
going
to
hear
you're
going
to
hear
about
a
lot
about
school
start
times
and
some
different
options
that
are
being
kicked
around
for
and
for
school
times,
and
then
we
will
also
get
into
a
little
bit
about
plcs,
which
are
professional
learning
communities,
which
is
another
thing
that
we're
proposing
to
the
school
board
as
a
as
an
option
for
next
year,
and
so
tonight
we
have
Shannon
Bingham
who's
with
Western
demographics.
D
He
is
a
person
that
does
a
lot
of
this
work
around
the
country
and
Dr
Kirsten
Johnson
strumpler
will
talk
about
the
PLC
piece
with
you.
She
is
a
she
is
the
senior
director
of
secondary
education
now
and
the
former
South
High
School
principal,
so
she's
back
home
here
this
evening.
So
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
get
it
kicked
off.
Shannon
will
start
it
off
this
evening.
At
the
end
of
the
presentation,
you'll
have
opportunity
to
make
any
statements.
E
You
Sven
so
just
structure
of
the
evening,
we'll
make
we'll
go
through
this
presentation
and
this
material,
and
then
we
have
a
couple
of
four
mics
and
we'd
like
to
invite
everybody
to
step
forward.
Who
would
like
to
make
a
statement
or
ask
a
question?
There
are
a
lot
of
people
in
the
room
who
are
highly
qualified
to
answer
questions,
so
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
you
have
an
opportunity
to
do
that
while
we're
all
here.
E
We
are
limiting
statements
to
about
three
minutes
and
MJ
will
be
our
time
keeper
on
questions
so
with
that
I
will
go
ahead
and
launch
into
the
presentation,
so
the
school
start
time
issue
has
been
very
much
at
the
Forefront
of
American
education.
For
almost
oh
18
years
now,
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
about
student
wellness
issues,
especially
exiting
the
pandemic,
and
a
lot
of
districts
around
the
U.S
and
Canada
have
been
exploring
changing
their
start
times
to
offer
students
some
sort
of
a
wellness
benefit.
E
Given
the
fact
that
we
have
a
lot
of
students
that
are
emerging
from
the
pandemic
troubled
in
2014,
the
American
Academy
of
Pediatrics
recommended
that
U.S
middle
and
high
schools
start
at
or
after
8
30,
and
that
has
been
very
much
a
kind
of
a
touchstone
for
a
lot
of
districts
that
have
considered
this
issue.
A
lot
of
folks
that
we
network
with
in
the
medical
community
whether
they
are
sleep
doctors,
pediatricians,
Physicians
assistants.
E
Nurses,
are
very
much
in
in
touch
with
a
lot
of
children
that
have
sleep
issues
and
fatigue,
issues
and
wellness
issues
in
general,
and
a
lot
of
them
are
very
much
in
favor
of
us
taking
some
sort
of
action
on
this
issue.
So
that's
been
one
of
the
things
that
a
lot
of
districts
have
considered
when
we
change
school
start
times
away
from
the
traditional
schedules
that
have
existed
in
a
lot
of
districts
since
the
50s
or
the
60s.
E
E
There
are
a
lot
of
benefits
that
are
measurable
that
flow
from
making
a
change.
So
with
sleep,
duration
increases.
We
see
decreased
amounts
of
daytime
sleepiness,
increased
attendance
and
graduation
rates,
less
tardiness,
higher
gpas
other
health
outcomes
that
we'll
talk
about
in
a
moment
and
fewer
automobile
crashes
for
high
school
age
drivers.
So
there
have
been
both
National
Studies
by
Insurance
Underwriters,
addressing
the
safety
aspects
of
high
school
students
having
being
better
more
well
rested
when
they're
they're
driving
early
in
the
morning
and
we're
seeing
that
after
we
have
changes.
E
We
have
some
significant
improvements
in
that
regard
and
we
have
a
longitudinal
study
that
we
will
share
with
you
tonight
that
also
measured
that
using
accident
rates
for
teens
collected
by
that
County
Sheriff's
department,
and
they
found
that
there
was
a
significant
improvement
from
a
safety
standpoint
for
children
in
this
age.
Category
a
lot
of
districts
between
about
2014
and
the
start
of
the
pandemic
change
their
start
times.
There
was
kind
of
a
rash
of
exploration
of
this
issue.
E
There
is
both
pro
and
con
issue
research
on
this
topic,
so
some
researchers
feel
that
the
amount
of
effort
and
the
amount
of
change
associated
with
changing
start
times
that
have
been
the
way
that
they
are
for
decades
is
not
worth
the
benefit.
Others
believe
strongly
that
it
is.
E
There
are
some
researchers
that
believe
the
effects
of
putting
Elementary
School
students
in
this
first
starting
position
is
detrimental
because
not
all
elementary
children
are
morning
people,
but
we
do
have
a
lot
of
research,
both
from
various
well-known
researchers
and
from
our
own
anecdotals
that,
because
Elementary
children
go
to
bed
at
7,
30
7
45,
they
rise
early,
their
energy
banned
for
school
when
they're
most
able
to
learn
starts
earlier
than
it
does
for
other
students,
and
we
hear
anecdotals
from
our
lot
of
our
elementary
school
teachers,
saying
that
kids
are
starting
to
Bonk
by
about
1
30
and
that
between
1
30
and
3,
30
they're
a
little
bit
less
able
to
learn
and
a
little
bit
less
effective
in
class
and
a
little
bit
more
likely
to
be
drowsy.
E
Others
argue
that
a
lot
of
our
families
have
trouble
getting
Elementary
age
children
to
school
at
nine,
and
if
we
were
to
shift
that
to
8
A.M
that
we
would
have
even
more
pronounced
problems
with
tardiness
and
attendance.
If
we
ask
those
families
to
get
those
children
to
school
even
earlier,
so
there's
pro
and
con
points
of
view
on
a
variety
of
these
issues.
But
the
key
issues
are
that
we
believe,
because
Elementary
School
students
rise
early
entire
by
mid-afternoon.
An
earlier
start
could
be
beneficial.
E
There's
an
extensive
amount
of
University
Research
and
research,
hospital
studies,
indicating
improvements
in
middle
and
high
school
student
performance
and
wellness.
Given
later
start
times,
we
now
are
experiencing
a
second
wave
of
school
start
time.
Changes
because
of
districts
that
are
exiting
from
the
pandemic
are
searching
for
a
way
to
offer
students
a
student
wellness
benefit,
given
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
students
are
pretty
dinged
up
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic,
giving
a
lot
of
given
a
lot
of
the
shifting
in
and
out
of
in-person
and
virtual
learning
environments.
E
A
lot
of
the
emotional
trauma
associated
with
the
pandemic
and
a
lot
of
the
disruption
and
movement
around
the
country
that
a
lot
of
families
have
experienced
and
some
districts
and
some
folks
that
look
at
family
issues
broadly
are
suggesting
that
this
might
be
a
good
time
to
make
a
change.
E
The
Rand
Corporation
is
a
big
Insurance
underwriting
agency
and
they've
indicated,
or
conducted
a
national
study
demonstrating
that
high
school
student
safety
could
improve
significantly
with
later
start
times
at
the
University
and
Hospital
level.
There
are
two
prominent
researchers
that
have
worked
on
this
issue
for
well
over
two
decades.
E
E
So
the
first
thing
that
the
researchers
do
is
they
look
at
first
period
grades
and
they
look
at
first
period,
alertness,
And,
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
have
ever
taught
a
Class
A
first
period
in
a
high
school
setting
or
conducted
a
focus
group
first
period
with
60
high
school
students,
but
that's
not
a
great
time
to
be
a
high
school
student
so
and
I'm
not
saying
that
everybody
is
is
fast
asleep,
but
that's
a
challenging
time
of
depending
upon
how
you
want
to
master
schedule.
E
Your
building,
you
don't
want
to
teach
AP
Physics
first
period,
you
probably
don't
want
to
teach
pre-calculus
first
period.
Those
are
classes
that
are
probably
better
offered
in
the
heart
of
the
day.
So
a
lot
of
people
that
are
scheduling,
High
School
content
are
really
looking
at
when
are
kids
at
their
best
to
take
some
of
those
significantly
advanced
classes.
E
Other
issues
on
the
con
side,
obviously
making
a
living
as
a
school
teacher,
is
a
challenging
proposition,
especially
now
with
housing
costs
and
a
lot
of
the
other
things
that
are
facing
families,
and
this
would
be
a
major
change
that
would
not
only
affect
every
family
in
the
district.
It
would
also
affect
the
majority
of
our
staff
people
as
far
as
when
their
work
day
might
start
and
end,
and
for
some
of
our
staff
they
would
just
be
looking
at
a
shuffle.
E
E
Military
families
have
observed
that,
because
Elementary
School
students
start
later
that
that
hour
or
45
minutes
in
the
morning
is
their
quality
time
with
their
Elementary
age
children
and
that
if
we
pull
school
start
times
earlier
in
order
to
take
advantage
of
those
children
being
alert,
they
would
lose
that
time
with
their
child
and
would
have
to
spend
more
time
on
the
weekend
with
their
students
because
they
a
lot.
Many
of
them
don't
really
get
home
until
6,
45
or
7,
which
is
just
about
bedtime
for
an
elementary
age.
Child.
E
Other
pros
and
cons
there
we
have
a
lot
of
weather,
impacted
bus
routes
here
in
Anchorage.
A
lot
of
the
research
on
this
topic
was
obviously
conducted
in
the
lower
48,
and
so
there
is
a
bit
of
an
argument
that
some
of
these
issues
are
not
appropriate
here,
given
our
snowbound
and
darkness
impacted
winter
time
and
others,
especially
in
the
medical
community,
are
saying
this
is
even
more
appropriate
for
the
research
based
on
what
it
is
saying.
Given
the
conditions
here
in
Alaska.
E
Other
issues
are
a
lot
of
the
research
that
was
conducted
in
Northern
and
Central.
Minnesota
is
not
exactly
a
similar
climate
to
us,
but
there
are
some
similarities
and
a
lot
of
the
Northern
Tier
districts
that
have
made
changes
have
been
working
with
morning,
pool
time
and
morning
ice
time
for
swimmers
and
skaters
and
trying
to
make
sure
they
could
accommodate
as
much
of
many
of
those
programs
as
possible.
E
Some
of
the
other
districts,
including
the
longitudinal
study
that
I
will
show
you
are
significantly
traffic
impacted,
and
so
they
may
not
have
snow
and
ice
to
cope
with,
but
a
lot
of
urban
areas
as
people
have
transitioned
more
towards
urbanized
settings
and
less
had
less
folks
reside
in
rural
areas.
Traffic
in
a
lot
of
our
bigger
cities
has
become
a
pretty
significant
issue.
E
Nevertheless,
we
have
45
minutes
between
our
start
times
and
we
are
struggling
with.
Our
transportation
needs
to
try
to
figure
out
a
way
to
maybe
compress
that,
because
a
lot
of
the
districts
that
have
had
the
easiest
time
of
changing
start
times
have
compressed
what
we
call
the
window,
which
is
the
time
between
High
School,
start
Middle,
School
start
and
Elementary
start.
E
So
when
that
is
between
eight
and
nine
o'clock,
you
tend
to
alleviate
a
lot
of
the
concerns
associated
with
making
a
change,
some
of
the
bigger
districts
that
have
huge
Central
Business
districts
and
have
pretty
much
low
tax
impacts
when
they
have
a
bond
election
or
a
mill.
Levy.
Pretty
much
had
a
mill
Levy
to
raise
money
for
additional
buses
and
additional
drivers
and
tried
to
solve
the
window
compression
Problem
by
basically
throwing
money
at
it.
E
We
are
less
able
to
do
that
and,
as
we
listen
very
carefully
to
our
drivers,
our
dispatchers,
our
routers
and
schedulers,
and
trying
to
understand
what
their
day
looks
like
when
they're
behind
the
wheel
of
that
bus.
We
are
learning
that
that
45
minutes
is
more
or
less
essential.
We
think
that
there
may
be
some
management
things
that
we
could
do
to
compress
that
a
little
bit,
but
we
know
that
that
would
take
some
time.
E
It
would
take
some
training
and
it
would
take
some
modification
of
loading
process
and
unloading
process
to
try
to
get
kids
on
and
off
of
buses
at
school
sites,
and
those
are
things
that
we
would
have
to
address
carefully.
So
that's
kind
of
some
of
the
the
bigger
picture
pros
and
cons.
Coming
back
to
kind
of
the
history
lesson
you
can
see
kind
of
how
we
started
this.
We
started
with
a
3000
signature
petition
from
a
high
school
student
that
really
initiated
the
board
directing
the
administration
to
explore
this
issue.
E
Several
districts
around
the
country
have
done
that
and
I
know
of
one
District
that
has
seven
of
them
in
process
at
seven
middle
schools
and
we
get
45
or
50
kids
every
morning
that
come
in
early
and
take
advantage
of
the
study
hall.
So
that
was
one
thing
that
we
considered
as
part
of
the
2018
proposal.
E
E
High
school
students
are
basically
not
getting
enough
sleep
pervasively
around
the
country
and
districts
that
have
traditional
start
order,
and
so
the
leading
feature
of
a
lot
of
This
research
is
to
put
high
school
students
either
in
the
second
or
the
last
position,
so
that
they,
their
circadian
rhythm,
is
more
aligned
with
when
school
starts.
E
A
lot
of
people
have
said:
high
school
students
will
just
cheat
and
as
long
as
high
school
students
are
not
addicted
to
devices
or
have
other
issues
that
result
in
some
sort
of
a
sleep-challenged
environment
for
the
most
part,
if
they're
starting
school,
later
they're
sleeping
later
and
they're,
getting
the
sleep
and
the
several
longitudinal
Studies
have
determined
that
middle
and
high
school
kids
don't
goof
around
in
the
morning.
They
sleep
in
the
morning.
E
So
when
you
have
a
later
start
time,
what
we're
finding
is
that
in
most
cases,
not
every
case,
not
every
child,
but
for
students
who
are
kind
of
in
that
middle
grouping
between
kids,
who
are
addicted
to
a
device
and
are
in
bed
with
some
sort
of
a
web-enabled
tablet
or
phone
when
they
shouldn't
be
and
other
students
who
are
hyper
motivated,
bound
out
of
bed
at
6
a.m.
Every
morning
or
our
military
families
or
highly
structured
kids
that
are
in
multiple
activities.
E
E
We
have
a
lot
of
young
men
and
women
that
are
sharing
with
us
that
they
have
a
role
in
supporting
their
families,
meaning
High
School
age
students
who
are
part
of
the
breadwinning
structure
of
their
families.
So
we
have
been
very
careful
to
respect
the
fact
that
they
want
to
project
their
ability,
protect
their
ability
to
remain
employed.
E
We
went
out
and
met
with
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
on
that
issue
and
the
Chamber
said
we
don't
really
see
an
economic
impact
in
Anchorage
to
changing
start
times,
given
the
need
to
have
student
labor
available
and
that
we
would
rather
have
healthy
kids.
So
we
did
hear
that
message
from
the
Anchorage
chamber
in
2018.,
as
we
heard
concerns
about
extracurriculars
Athletics,
after-school
jobs.
E
We
also
heard
that
a
lot
of
high
school
students
are
responsible
for
younger
siblings
and
that
after
their
high
school
day,
they
go
pick
up
a
younger
sibling,
Elementary
age
student
in
their
own
vehicle.
Take
that
child
home
and
provide
afternoon
child
care.
So
that
was
one
thing
that
suggested
some
compromise
scenarios
and
I'll
show
those
to
you
in
just
a
moment.
E
So
we
kept
High
School
in
position
one,
but
we
pushed
it
back
half
an
hour.
So
that
was
a
half
hour
Improvement
in
the
possible
sleep
volume
for
those
students
they
would
get
out
at
three
at
2
30..
We
have
a
six
and
a
half
hour
academic
day
and
then
Elementary
was
going
to
be.
Second
Elementary
would
start
at
8
45
and
release
at
3
15..
E
There
was
another
scenario
developed
where
we
put
Elementary
back
in
first
position,
which
would
be
research
compliant
high
school
at
8,
45
middle
school
at
9,
30
and
both
high
school
and
middle
school
would
be
research
compliant
under
that
scenario,
and
elementary
students
would
be
starting
at
eight
o'clock,
and
you
see
that
there
is
a
gap
for
the
elementary
students
would
be,
if
they're
being
supervised
by
an
older
sibling.
E
There's
a
45-minute
Gap
there
between
when
the
high
school
student
would
be
available
to
pick
up
the
elementary
school
student,
not
counting
travel
time
for
that
student
to
get
from
high
school
to
the
elementary.
So
it
would
probably
be
at
least
an
hour
gap.
There
scenario
four
was
preferred
by
the
board
at
that
time,
but
they
chose
not
to
take
action,
and
part
of
the
reason
was
concern
about
the
30
minutes
of
high
school.
Sleep
benefit,
possibly
not
being
worth
the
magnitude
of
the
change,
so
that
was
kind
of
the
State
of
Affairs.
E
E
The
eight
o'clock
start
is
something
that
seems
more
amenable
for
the
elementary
school
community.
What
that
does?
Is
it
triggers
a
9
30
start
for
Middle
School
students,
and
so
that
really
sets
us
up
to
where
the
Middle
School
study
halls
would
be
a
pretty
important
piece
of
the
equation.
E
So
longitudinal
studies,
this
study
was
called
castles.
It
was
actually
run
by
Dr,
Meltzer
and
Dr
wallstrom,
so
they
were
hired
by
Cherry
Creek
School
District
to
do
pre-change
and
post-change
research
on
a
large
group
of
students
I
think
they
had
5
000
students
involved
in
this
in
the
sample
in
the
research
project.
So
a
huge
group
of
kids,
this
District
did
a
research
compliance
switch.
They
did
this
right
in
the
middle
of
the
bus
driver
crisis,
so
they
had
some
Transportation
challenges.
E
This
is
a
highly
traffic
impacted,
School
District,
when
I'm
working
in
this
area,
I
avoid
it
like
the
plague
because
of
the
likelihood
of
getting
stuck
somewhere
and
sitting
there
for
20
minutes
in
a
traffic
jam,
but
they
moved
their
High
School
start
time
from
7
10
a.m,
to
8
20
A.M
and
they
put
their
Elementary
School
students
in
first
position,
moving
them
from
a
9
A.M
start
to
an
8
A.M
start
and
what
this
District
experience
was
just
like
playing
country
music
backwards.
E
Where
you
get
your
wife
back,
you
get
your
job
back.
You
get
your
truck
back
all
of
the
benefits
from
the
research
that
they
were
expecting
they
obtained
when
they
made
the
change.
So
basically,
we
had
the
elementary
students
that
went
from
9
A.M
to
an
8.
A.M
start
only
got
one
minute
less
sleep
than
they
were
getting
before,
so
the
impact
on
Elementary
School
students
was
nominal
at
the
middle
school
level.
E
The
average
Middle
School
student
got
29
more
minutes
sleep
than
they
were
getting
before,
and
one
in
five
middle
school
students
was
getting
more
likely
to
get
the
recommended
amount
of
sleep
than
they
did
before,
so
it
helped
one
in
five
middle
school
students,
the
high
school
level,
the
average
high
school
student
in
the
study
got
45
minutes
more
sleep
and
33
percent
of
those
students
in
the
study
wound
up
getting
the
recommended
amount
of
sleep.
So
one
in
three
additional
students
wound
up
getting
the
recommended
amount
of
sleep.
E
There
were
some
impacts,
so
24
out
of
a
thousand
elementary
students
cited
being
tired
during
the
academic
day
and
20
sided
being
sleepy
during
the
academic
day
versus
the
response
level
before
the
change.
Okay,
so
about
two
percent
impact
on
elementary
kids
at
the
middle
school
level,
83
out
of
a
thousand
fewer
cited
being
tired
and
59
fewer
cited
being
sleepy,
and
there
were
other
benefits
in
the
sad
nervous
and
worried
categories
as
well.
E
So
there
was
a
six
to
eight
percent
Improvement
for
middle
school
students
on
some
of
those
Wellness
behaviors
and
at
the
high
school
level
you
see
big
numbers,
187
fewer
students
citing
being
tired
and
207
fewer
students
out
of
a
thousand,
so
that's
about
one
in
five
sided
being
not
being
sleepy
after
the
change.
Fewer
a
fewer
amount
were
sleeping
as
far
as
other
indicators,
first
period,
students
who
cited
being
ready
for
school,
being
alert
being
prepared,
participating
the
Middle
School
level
improvements
were
four
to
eight
percent.
E
E
E
Now
this
is
a
brighter
environment
than
Anchorage,
meaning
it's
at
a
lower
latitude
and
there's
a
lot
more
late
afternoon
and
early
evening
light
in
the
middle
of
the
wintertime
and
so
a
little
bit
different
circumstances
than
what
we
have
here
activities.
Three
percent
fewer
middle
school
students
were
able
to
participate,
one
percent
fewer
high
school
students
and
regarding
employment,
seven
percent
of
high
school
students
said
they
were
more
able
to
participate
in
an
after-school
job,
mostly
because
they
were
well
rested
and
they
still
had
the
energy
to
go.
Do
something
else
after
school.
E
So
there
were
some
improvements
there
associated
with
the
change
in
start
time
that
were
unexpected
first
period
grades,
improved
by
about
one
and
a
half
to
about
three
and
a
half
percent
for
the
middle
and
high
school
students
respectively,
and
there
were
other
improvements
in
academic
performance,
but
most
of
the
benefits
were
really
measured
in
terms
of
Wellness.
E
So
that's
the
quick
look
at
the
start
time
issue.
We
will
have
some
questions,
we'll
answer
your
questions
on
that
and
on
the
PLC
issue
and
I'd
like
to
introduce
Kirsten
Johnson
to
talk
about
the
PLC.
F
All
right,
thank
you,
Shannon,
so
good
evening.
Everyone
I
was
introduced
at
the
beginning,
but
my
name
is
Kirsten
Johnson
I'm,
the
senior
director
of
secondary
education,
former
principal
and
teacher
for
the
school
district
as
well.
One
of
the
other
before
I
get
started.
I
wanted
to
recognize
that
our
board
president
arrived
so
Margo
Bellamy
is
in
the
audience
as
well.
F
In
addition
to
Kelly
lessons
and
Andy
Hallman
from
the
school
board
before
I
get
started,
though
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
talk
a
little
bit
about
professional
learning
communities
in
addition
to
the
school
start
time
schedule
change,
we're
looking
at
professional
learning
communities
for
all
of
our
teachers.
F
From
preschool
through
12th
grade
and
like
I
said,
this
is
an
existing
practice
at
high
school
across
our
district
already,
but
we
would
expand
it
to
middle
and
elementary,
so
I'll
go
through
the
bullets
a
little
bit.
You
know
more
specifically,
so
one
of
the
big
advantages
for
professional
learning
communities
for
our
Educators
is
the
ability
to
address
some
major
initiatives
in
our
district
college
career
life.
Ready
initiative
is
one
of
our
main
goals
at
the
secondary
level
at
this
point,
and
it
would
provide
time
to
really
expand
on
that
work.
F
It
also
supports
a
number
of
curriculum
adoptions
that
we
have
going
and
at
the
elementary
level
in
particular,
it
would
allow
us
to
focus
on
reading,
which
is
really
an
essential
skill.
I
think
everybody
can
agree
needs
to
happen
at
the
elementary
level
and
it
allows
our
Educators
the
time
to
really
work
on
those
curriculum
adoptions
around
reading
and
math
to
get
our
kids
with
those
basic
skills.
F
It
also
really
lets
us
address
some
of
the
social
emotional
needs
of
our
students,
so
that
we
can
support
them
more
readily
throughout
their
day
and
especially
after
a
pandemic.
We've
we've
found
that
this
is
really
essential
for
us
in
our
school
system.
So
there's
there's
definitely
a
lot
of
research
around
professional
learning
communities
in
the
education
world.
F
It's
not
a
new
concept
when
it
comes
to
schools
and
education,
and
it's
been
around
for
roughly
about
20
years
and
even
within
our
district,
there
have
been
individual
schools
that
have
implemented
plc's
as
individual
communities
diamond
high
school
was
the
first
in
our
district
in
2006,
and
many
other
schools
have
followed
them
to
get
where
we
are
at
this
point
in
time,
and
what
we
have
found
with
those
individual
schools
over
time
is
that
it
is
really
effective
for
those
individual
schools
and
now
would
like
to
expand
it
to
our
entire
district
and
so
essentially
I'm
not
following
these
slides
I'm
just
kind
of
talking,
but
we
we
definitely
would
like
to
let
all
of
our
Educators
engage
in
that
professional
time,
so
that
they
can
improve
student
outcomes.
F
That's
really
the
basis
of
plc's
is
getting
student
outcomes
to
increase
and
allowing
the
professionals
to
have
that
time
to
work
on
it,
and
so,
when
we
are
doing
a
professional,
Learning,
Community
proposal
that
we
just
talked
to
the
board
about
actually
this
week,
we
would
really
like
to
stay
with
a
late
start
on
Monday
and
Implement
in
the
fall
of
24..
So
so
that's
really
our
proposal
right
now,
but
it
coincides
with
the
school
start
time
and
sorry,
23
is
when
we
would.
We
would
Implement
it's
wrong
on
that
slide.
F
So
so
we
would
look
at
implementing
this.
Coming
fall.
Late
start
Mondays
across
the
board,
which
is
which
essentially
means
school
would
start
one
hour
later
on
Mondays
only,
and
then
you
would
have
your
regular
schedule
for
the
rest
of
the
week.
A
number
of
the
reasons
for
doing
it
on
a
Monday
have
to
do
with
in-service
days.
That
typically
fall
on
a
Friday,
and
we
also
have
a
lot
more
Sports
and
activities
and
school
activities
in
general
at
all
levels
that
go
into
the
latter
part
of
the
week.
F
So
Mondays
tends
to
be
a
better
day.
Just
from
a
scheduling
standpoint-
and
so
that's
really,
a
summary
of
what
we're
proposing
for
plc's-
is
to
allow
our
Educators
for
that
60
Minutes
on
Mondays
right
at
the
beginning
of
the
day
and
school
would
start
an
hour
later
that
day.
So
our
Educators
have
that
collaboration
time
during
that
additional
hour
in
the
mornings.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
over
to
Shannon
to
kind
of
close
us
out.
E
So
here's
an
example
of
how
the
existing
scenarios
would
be
affected
one
day
a
week
on
Mondays.
If
we
made
the
change
that
Kirsten
just
mentioned,
so
you
can
see
our
current
start
times
at
the
top
for
high
school
middle
school
and
Elementary.
If
we
do
nothing
on
school
start
times,
we
would
start
an
hour
later,
so
high
school
would
start
at
8,
30,
Middle
School
would
start
at
9,
15
and
Elementary
School
would
start
at
10.
E
There
would
not
be
a
change
for
the
release
time,
so
that
would
be
a
five
and
a
half
hour
academic
day
for
students
on
those
days.
So
that
would
be
the
approach
there
for
the
various
scenarios
one
day
a
week.
Here
are
scenarios
one
two
three
and
three,
and
what
that
Monday
start
would
be.
So
you
see
that
under
a
scenario
two
the
start
for
elementary
would
be
845,
Middle
School
would
be
9,
30
and
high
school
would
be
10
15..
E
Moving
on
to
scenario
four,
which
was
the
2018
recommendation
on
Mondays,
the
PLC
start
time,
would
be
nine
o'clock
for
high
school
9
45
for
elementary
school
and
10
30
for
middle
school.
So
those
would
be
the
adjustments
for
clipping
off
that
one
hour
Monday
morning
and
again,
there
would
not
be
a
change
for
release
time.
That
would
remain
standard,
so
we
have
a
survey
I
have
it
up
in
four
languages:
I
have
English
Spanish,
Korean
and
Tagalog,
and
this
is
the
survey
that
is
online.
E
You
can
point
your
smartphone
at
this
and
take
the
survey
in
from
your
seat
right
now,
and
that
would
be
our
preference
I
can
make
the
English
version
of
this
real
bigs
if
you
can't
get
it
from
where
you're
sitting
and
just
let
me
know
if
you
want
me
to
toggle
back
and
forth,
but
the
survey
takes
about
five
minutes
and
it
gives
us
a
record
of
your
thoughts
on
this
issue,
your
support
or
opposition
to
us
making
a
change
on
start
time.
We
do
not
have
survey
material
on
PLC.
E
So
if
you
have
a
point
of
view
on
PLC
we'd
like
you
to
share
that
with
us
via
the
community
participation
option
that
we
have
coming
up
so
with
that
we'd
like
to
thank
you
for
your
participation
and
attendance
tonight,
thank
you
for
participating
in
the
survey
and
ask
you
to
come
forward.
If
you
have
questions
or
comments
for
the
team
and
I'm
going
to
read
everyone's
names
off
of
this
list,
that
MJ
has
just
handed
me
and
we
will
start
with
Paul
Williamson,
followed
by
Kathy
Brown.
G
Foreign
good
evening,
my
name
is
Paul
Williamson,
a
parent
also
happened
to
be
a
psychologist.
G
Former
Air
Force
psychologist,
so
I
had
some
experience
with
the
military
Community
as
well,
and
so
the
basic
trucks
to
my
comment
would
be
I
would
support
any
measure
which
would
be
research
compliant
and
move
these
middle
school
and
high
school
start
times
a
bit
later.
G
For
the
audience,
I
would
say,
I
know
sometimes
there's
a
perception
that
lack
of
sleep
that
sometimes
high
school
and
middle
school
students
get
is
because
of
bad
habits.
I
will
not
deny
that
bad
habits
are
absolutely
a
contributing
factor,
but
they're
an
exacerbating
Factor
they're,
not
the
only
factor
and
being
able
to
move
schools
to
start
times.
The
research
is
pretty
robust
in
that
that
does
have.
G
Gains
and
in
my
clinical
work,
I
will
say
that
the
vast
majority
of
individuals
I
work
with
with
a
mental
health
concern,
whether
adolescent
or
adult
sleep
is
a
highly
correlated
Factor,
whether
it's
with
anxiety
or
depression
or
whatever
the
case
may
be,
and
you
know
you
can
make
the
argument
whether
that's
cause
or
symptom,
but
in
either
case
whether
cause
or
symptom.
It's
usually
a
little
bit
reciprocal.
E
G
I
did
how
to
have
a
corresponding
question,
and
that
was
with
a
four
o'clock
potential.
Four
o'clock
release
time
for
middle
school
students
if
you've
considered
the
impact
that
could
have
in
terms
of
maybe
promoting
some
bad
habits
that
we
worry
about
in
terms
of
sleep
hygiene
and
things
like
that
in
the
evening
hours
because
of
the
pressure
puts
on
the
evening
schedule
and
if
so,
if
you've
had
any
thoughts,
what
those
were,
particularly
in
terms
of
high
school
or
after
school
programming,.
E
Thank
you
thanks.
One
thing
that
we
have
been
exploring
is
trying
to
compress
the
transportation
window
so
that
we
could
move
Middle
School
release,
maybe
to
350.
If
we
went
with
the
two
compromise
scenarios
that
I
showed
you
at
toward
the
end
of
the
presentation,
we're
trying
to
mitigate
that,
but
we're
finding
that
our
drivers
really
do
need
that
entire
45
minutes
to
do
their
jobs,
especially
with
snowmageddon
experience.
I.
E
Think
everybody's,
aware
of
some
of
the
challenges
associated
with
getting
around
in
Anchorage
and
Eagle
River,
and
some
of
our
rural
routes
around
Eagle
River
are
highly
impacted,
so
at
any
weight.
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
That
mic
is
feeding
back.
Can
we
can
we
angle
it
a
little
bit
thin?
Can
you
point
it
at
that
wall
I
think
it'll
be
less
prone
to
feeding
bat
there
we
go.
H
Ahead,
Kathy
I
get
to
test
it.
Hi
Shannon
I
have
to
tell
you
you
swayed
me
a
little
bit
this
time.
I
am
not
against
the
science
it's
valid,
it
makes
sense,
but
as
a
High
School
parent
I'm
graduating
my
third
high
schooler
in
2024.
H
I
have
students
that
are
athletes,
honor
students
that
do
very,
very
well
in
school,
because
school
has
been
their
job
from
the
moment
they
entered
kindergarten.
It's
expected.
It's
always
been
that
way
in
my
house,
whether
you
think
it's
right
or
wrong.
That's
how
we've
done
it,
but
my
concern
is
the
after
school
activities
and
the
kids
with
jobs
and
I
know.
You
spoke
to
that.
But
I
would
like
to
see
some
scenarios.
You
know
if
we
go
with
option
A.
This
is
what
the
activities
might
look
like.
H
If
we
go
with
option
b.
This
is
what
they
might
look
like
my
own
senior
next
year,
she's
worried.
She
said
you
know
they
almost
cut
my
Sport
and
we
got
it,
but
now
I
don't
know
if
I'll
be
able
to
go
to
practice.
You
know
she's,
concerned
and
I
think
she
has
a
valid
concern.
She's
earned
the
right
to
swim
as
a
senior
she's,
a
good
kid,
and
all
of
her
teammates
have
earned
that
right
too.
So,
that's
my
only
concern
really
I'm,
not
against
it.
C
H
Be
surprised
as
a
parent
and
as
would
many
of
the
athletes
in
this
community
that
are
wondering
too,
that
I've
spoken
to
and
as
a
school
nurse
for
18
years,
I
work
at
high
school
and
I
see
kids
every
single
day
that
show
up
for
school
because
it's
soccer
season
or
they
have
football
and
they
get
good
grades
because
they
have
to
get
good
grades
and
sports
is
what
gets
them
in
the
front
door
of
the
school.
So
it's
really
really
important
for
a
lot
of
high
schoolers
and
then
I
want
to
close
with.
H
This
is
an
awesome
thing.
I
really
really
think
it
is,
but
it
will
not
be
the
fix
for
our
kids
Wellness
long
term.
It
will
help,
but
we
need
to
continue
to
work
as
a
community
and
a
district
to
help
our
community
and
kids
get
what
they
need
and
what
their
families
need
to
be
as
physical
quickly
and
mentally
healthy
as
possible,
and
that's
not
just
ASD.
That's
the
entire
Community
as
a
whole.
We
all
have
to
work
together
on
that.
H
E
Thank
you
Kathy,
so
I'd
like
to
partially
respond
to
your
question
I'm,
going
to
call
on
Alora
Moray
to
come
next
and
Caitlin
Poindexter
to
come
after
Elora,
so
just
to
kind
of
answer
your
question.
What
we
wanted
to
do
was
re-engage
the
community
to
determine
the
overall
point
of
view
of
the
community
on
this
issue
post
pandemic
and
see
where
we
stand.
So
the
main
purpose
of
the
survey
has
been
to
generically
determine
where
we
stand
on
this
issue.
E
Show
the
original
scenarios
again
show
the
compromise
scenarios
again,
explain
the
difference
between
research
compliant
and
some
of
the
impacts.
That
might
you
know,
result
in
students
having
to
make
changes
with
sports
and
extracurriculars
or
jobs
or
child
care
for
elementary
students
or
sibling
supervision
of
elementary
students
and
then
re-engage
the
compromise
scenarios
that
attempt
to
address
those
things
using
research
benefit
as
the
offsetting
benefit
associated
with
them,
and
then
it's
my
job
to
lay
all
of
that
out
for
the
board
and
say
when
you
twist
this
knob
and
you
twist
this
knob.
I
Thank
you
by
the
way
for
the
session
I
found
it
really
helpful.
So
as
I
was
listening,
are
you
going
to
area
hearing
feedback.
I
Can
you
hear
me?
Oh
that's
much
better.
Thank
you.
I
just
was
trying
to
listen
for
what
I
had
what
I
hadn't
heard
in
the
presentation.
I
Well
sure
and
I
thought
it's
hopeful
that
you
don't
have
to
provide
child
care
in
the
morning
before
school.
I
think
that's
pretty
awesome,
because
it
would
just
go
to
the
evening
if
elementary
school
started
earlier.
I
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful
for
a
lot
of
parents
actually
hormones
rage
in
the
teenage
years
and
lay
dormant
in
elementary
school
years
so
easier
to
get
cooperation
for
bedtime,
routines
and
wake
up
in
the
morning,
I
think
with
an
elementary
schooler
than
with
a
teenager
and
I'm
sure
the
psychologist
could
easily
speak
to
that
truly
snow
days
allowed
me
to
see
the
afternoon
Fallout
at
the
elementary
level.
It
was
pretty
incredible.
I
Actually
I
went
in
every
day
to
my
daughter's
school
to
my
twin
daughter's
school
and
saw
the
classrooms
that
I
was
just
like.
Oh,
this
is
a
hot
mess
like
this
is
too
late
for
these
students.
You
could
see
it
pretty
much
in
every
classroom,
it's
pretty
dramatic
and
we
needed
to
do
it
to
make
up
time,
but
it
was
actually
helpful.
I
So
I
don't
think
later
would
be
good
for
Elementary
in
the
afternoon.
I
agree
with
the
research
I
think
it
would
be
nice
to
have
a
solid
time
block
after
school
right
now,
I
feel
like
I
Rush,
my
children
to
school
and
rush
them
home,
also
living
in
Alaska.
I
I
heard
over
and
over
again
health
safety
and
developmentally
appropriate
to
move
High
School
later
and
I
think
those
are
really
key
elements
right
in
education
like
so
that
I
thought
yeah.
That
sounds
really
good
and
then
I
also
thought
about
my
master's
degrees
in
college
student
services.
I
If
you
made
it
a
half
day
on
Friday
or
something
like
that,
you
could
get
college
students
that
could
come
and
work
in
elementary
schools
and
help
provide
child
care,
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
ask
please
no
to
the
five
hour
school
day
when
I
saw
that
at
the
end
six
hours,
there's
a
half
an
hour
for
lunch,
half
an
hour
for
recess,
which
I'm.
I
Kelly
lessons
for
fighting
for
that,
but
I
think
that
would
leave
four
hours
of
instruction
and
I've
looked
at
statistics
across
the
district
and
proficiency
and
reading
and
math
I
think
that
would
be
detrimental,
so
oh
yeah
and
I
was
thinking
high
school
students
would
finish
up
Sports
about
the
time
that
parents
are
done
with
work
for
pickup.
That
could
be
an
easier,
more
seamless
flow.
So
those
were
things
that
I
noticed
and
wanted
to
point
out.
K
Oh,
that
was
nice
I,
don't
need
to
repeat
my
name
because
he
said
it.
So
my
question
is:
how
is
the
district
preparing
to
work
with
those
students
that
have
Zone
exceptions
that
will
potentially
face
Transportation
challenges
under
the
proposed
plans?.
E
So
Zone
exemptions
well
for.
E
K
F
So
I
I
can
take
that
question.
Those
are
some
of
the
impacts
we're
trying
to
explore
right
now,
as
Shannon
indicated
through
the
survey
and
and
having
Town
Halls
when,
when
you
do
Zone
exempt
your
student
to
another
school,
it
is,
it
is
the
parent's
responsibility
to
provide
that
Transportation.
That's
part
of
the
Zone
exam
process,
so
we
would
need
to
examine
how
how
much
that
would
affect
our
students
in
the
system.
E
E
We
discover
a
couple
of
hundred
parents
that
had
the
circumstances
that
you
do
where
the
outcome
kind
of
has
a
pretty
significant
impact
on
what
your
plans
are
and
what
we
just
have
to
agree
to
try
to
work
with
parents
on
an
individual
basis
to
try
to
figure
out
what
we
can
facilitate,
but
given
our
transportation
limitations
as
they
are,
and
our
inability
to
get
qualified
drivers
right
now
to
operate
the
system
that
we
have,
we
can't
really
address
every
solution,
but
our
goal
would
be
to
work
with
every
parent
individually
to
figure
out
if
there's
a
way
for
us
to
accommodate
every
family
and
I
think
our
building
level
people
do
a
pretty
good
job
of
that.
E
But
it's
not
possible
every
time
and
I
think
you
should
remain
involved
in
this
and
and
continue
to
advocate
for
your
child
and
and
observe
for
policy
makers.
The
potential
impacts
on
your
family
thanks
any
other
questions
or
comments
tonight,
I
had
five
people
on
the
list
and
one
abstained
and
I
think
we're
running
a
little
ahead
of
time.
Anybody
else
would
like
to
make
ask
a
question
or
make
a
comment.
E
H
E
B
G
I
had
a
follow-up
question
or
comment
on
the
professional
learning
communities,
and
that's
I
think
you
kind
of
addressed
this
a
little
bit
a
moment
ago,
but
I
may
have
flipped
out.
So
forgive
me
if
this
is
a
repeat
for
Monday
morning.
Late
starts,
particularly
with
elementary
kids.
G
They
are
less
capable
in
some
certainly
not
should
should
not
be
left
unsupervised
and
for
parents,
particularly
dual
income,
households
that
where
both
parents
are
working
in
the
morning,
trying
to
figure
out
every
week
an
alternative
and
we're
looking
at
potentially
a
much
larger
number
of
parents
and
and
children
than
we
would
be,
perhaps
for
zoning
exemptions,
which
aren't
of
themselves
a
significant
concern.
E
I'm,
not
sure
I
have
a
answer
for
your
question,
but
I
I
think
that
I've
been
Sven.
You
want
to
take
a
shot
at.
D
That
yeah,
if,
if
we
were
to
move
to
later
change
the
start
times
over,
the
elementary
kids
would
be
earlier
in
the
day
that
Monday
wouldn't
be
much
different
than
what
it
is
now
because
they're
they're
already
starting
at
nine
o'clock
now,
so
they
would
be
starting.
D
It
depends
upon
where
what
the
school
board
decides
as
far
as
the
start
time
for
the
the
new
start
times.
That's
why
we're
kind
of
putting
them
together
is
kind
of
Elementary.
It
wouldn't
affect
Elementary
as
much
the
middle
school
and
high
schoolers
would
be
a
little
later
in
the
day
and
they're
older
and
have
a
little
more
ways
to
be
able
to
be
on
their
own
and
get
themselves
to
school
or
onto
the
bus.
E
J
Yeah
I
just
want
to
share
a
comment
from
my
son's
perspective.
I
wasn't
going
to
do
this,
but
I
think
he'll
appreciate
it.
He's
15
he's
a
freshman
at
service
and
he's
well
supported
in
school.
He
does
well
in
his
grades.
J
I,
don't
know
where
to
look
and
and
play
sports
in
his
friends,
but
he
says
regularly
that
he
hates
school
and
that
just
started
this
year
and
it
it
pains
me
to
hear
him
say
that
when
I
ask
him
why
he
just
says,
because
I
have
to
get
up
so
early
and
so
I
appreciate
all
the
research
I
I'm
supportive
of
it,
but
mostly
I
just
want
my
son
not
to
hate
school
and
I.
Think
he
just
really
needs
more
sleep
like
that's,
really
what
it
boils
down
to
for
him.
So
thank
you.
E
Other
comments
before
we
pull
the
plug
for
the
evening
great.
Well,
thanks
everybody
for
your
participation
and
all
your
great
comments
and
questions.
We
really
appreciate
it.
I
think
that
taking
the
survey
is
really
key.
So
for
anyone
who
has
not
done
so,
it
is
available
on
the
website
and
we
would
encourage
you
to
participate
in
that
manner.
We
have
a
final
Town
Hall
Friday
night
at
Mirror,
Lake,
6
p.m.
If
you
have
friends
or
neighbors
or
you'd
like
to
come,
see
a
rerun.
