Good
evening
and
Welcome
to
our
first
Community
Town
Hall,
focusing
on
school
start
times,
I'm
Sven,
Gustafson
I
am
the
chief
academic
officer
for
the
Anchorage
School
District,
and
we
are
here
this
evening.
This
is
our
first
we
have
tonight.
We
have
tomorrow
at
South,
High,
School
and
Friday
at
Mir,
Lake,
Middle
School,
we're
here
to
gather
information.
Let
people
know
about
the
studies
that
have
been
made
about
school
start
times,
hear
from
the
community
hear
from
you,
parents
and
community
members.
E
We
do
have
this
live
stream,
so
we're
hopeful
that
many
people
are
tuning
in
to
our
presentation
this
evening
in
the
room
with
us.
This
evening
we
have
Dr
Bryant
our
superintendent.
We
have
Mr
Carl
Jacobs,
our
vice
president
of
our
school
board
and
member
Kelly
lessons
of
their
school
board
as
well
in
the
in
the
room
this
evening,
we're
going
to
focus
mostly
on
start
times.
E
We
will
then
also
have
a
couple
slides
and
talk
about
a
thing
called
professional
learning
communities,
which
is
a
PLC
time
that
we're
proposing
to
the
school
board
as
well,
and
then
we'll
have
time
for
you
all
to
make
comments
to
us,
and
then
we
have
a
survey
at
the
end.
That
we'd
hope
that
everybody
that
is
here
and
that
is
online-
will
participate
in
over
the
next
couple
days.
So
going
through
our
start
time.
E
F
Fan
can
everyone
hear
me
very
good,
well
yeah,
it's
a
privilege
to
talk
to
everybody
tonight
about.
F
School
start
times,
I
have
quite
a
history
with
Anchorage
School
District
I
have
helped
with
various
special
projects.
For
about
the
last
six
years
we
did
a
school
start
time
exploration
back
in
2018
and
you'll,
hear
some
reference
to
some
of
our
history
associated
with
that
project
as
well.
Our
intention
tonight
is
to
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
the
history
of
school
start
time
exploration
in
the
Anchorage
School
District
a
little
bit
of
an
overview
of
some
of
the
current
research
on
the
topic.
F
We'll
give
you
a
perspective
on
a
longitudinal
study
that
was
conducted
that
showed
before
and
after
student
wellness
and
student
performance
issues,
and
then
we
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
plc
or
professional
Learning
Community
concept
and
how
that
might
affect
our
start
times,
and
then
we
will
pause
for
questions.
We
have
several
microphones
in
the
room
that
we
will
bring
forward
in
order
to
facilitate
live
questions.
It's
Our
intention
to
be
as
complete
and
as
possible.
F
We
have
a
lot
of
Professionals
in
the
room
that
can
help
answer
any
question
that
you
might
have.
The
questions
and
comments
will
be
limited
to
about
three
minutes.
So
MJ
will
be
running
a
timer
over
there
and
he
will
ask
folks
to
wrap
up,
as
you
make
a
comment
or
ask
a
question
and
then
we'll
do
our
best
to
respond.
F
So
you
can
see
that
we
have
quite
a
quite
a
history.
We
have
had
some
professionals
come
in
and
address
US
Dr
Lisa
Meltzer
is
probably
one
of
two
of
the
leading
sleep
researchers
in
North
America.
She
is
currently
in
private
practice
was
with
the
National
Jewish
hospital
Network
for
almost
20
years
and
is
one
of
the
most
prolific
researchers
on
this
topic.
We've
also
had
information
supplied
to
the
district
by
Dr
Kyla
wallstrom
from
the
University
of
Minnesota,
who
is
also
kind
of
the
other
leading
National
researcher.
F
On
this
topic.
So
between
the
two
of
them,
we
have
had
quite
a
bit
of
information
provided
to
us
that
has
assisted
us
with
exploring
this
role.
I
seem
to
have
advanced
about
15
slides,
so
let
me
see
if
I
can
get
myself
back
to
where
I
intended
to
be
there.
We
go
so
since
about
2014
that
was
kind
of
the
high
water
mark
for
districts,
converting
to
Alternative
School
start
times.
So
since
then,
a
lot
of
districts
have
continued
to
convert
to
later
start
times,
especially
for
secondary
school
children.
F
In
2014,
the
American
Academy
of
Pediatricians
issued
a
position
paper
suggesting
that
secondary
students,
meaning
middle
and
high
school
students
not
start
school
before
8
30,
and
that
initiated
a
lot
of
start
time.
Change
around
the
country
and
I
think
a
couple
of
States
actually
made
it
state
law
California
in
particular,
made
it
a
state
law
that
Secondary
School
students
not
start
until
8
30..
So
that's
been
one
of
the
the
main
oh
catalysts
for
a
lot
of
change.
F
A
lot
of
research
was
initiated
by
that
position
paper
and
a
lot
of
it
had
been
happening
since
about
2010,
meaning
a
lot
of
research
was
being
published
on
how
students
are
affected
by
not
getting
adequate
sleep.
A
lot
of
the
research
has
really
been
very
much
based
on.
Do
children
get
enough
sleep
and,
for
the
most
part,
Elementary
School
students
are
supposed
to
get
a
little
over
10
hours
sleep
a
night
middle
school
students
are
supposed
to
get
a
little
over
nine
hours.
F
Sleep
a
night
and
high
school
students
are
supposed
to
get
a
little
over
eight
hours
sleep
at
night
when
they
do
not
get
adequate
sleep.
They
tend
to
have
a
variety
of
student
performance,
student,
wellness
and
behavioral
issues
that
affect
their
time
in
school
and
basically
affect
big
chunks
of
their
lives,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
research
has
been
focused
on
measuring
self-reported
fatigue
on
the
part
of
students
of
reporting
in
attendance
and
graduation
rate
issues.
F
Various
Wellness
issues
associated
with
health
clinic
visits,
other
issues
associated
with
various
emotional
issues
and
also
traffic
accidents,
have
been
one
of
the
big
indicators
for
high
school
students.
There's
been
quite
a
bit
of
research
by
the
Rand
corporation,
which
is
a
National
Insurance
underwriting
agency.
F
There
is
opposition
research
on
this
topic.
So
what
we're
proposing
to
do
is
for
the
most
part,
to
pull
the
secondary
students
later
in
the
morning,
so
they
would
go
to
having
a
later
start
time.
Both
high
school
and
middle
school
students
would
start
later
and
because
we
have
three-tiered
transportation,
meaning
like
most
other
districts
in
the
United
States,
we
only
have
enough
buses
and
enough
drivers
to
service
one
school
level
at
a
time.
So
in
Anchorage
we
have
a
three-tiered
transportation
schedule,
so
we
use
the
buses
and
the
drivers
for
Senior
High.
F
Then
we
use
the
buses
and
drivers
for
middle
school.
Then
we
use
them
for
elementary
and
our
window
because
of
our
climate
snow
ice
problems
that
we
have
getting
folks
around
is
45
minutes
between
school
starts.
So
what's
called
the
window.
The
amount
of
time
in
the
morning
and
in
the
afternoon
for
release
for
Anchorage
School
District
is
about
an
hour
and
a
half.
F
If
you
measure
the
time
between
the
senior
high
start
and
the
Elementary
start,
or
if
you
tack
on
the
45
minutes
when
the
buses
are
running,
to
deliver
the
senior
high
students
to
school,
it's
about
2
hours
and
15.,
so
a
lot
of
the
districts
that
have
been
successful
in
mitigating
and
making
changes
that
would
be
what's
called
research
compliant
with
their
start
times.
They
have
addressed
some
of
their
transportation
challenges
by
purchasing
more
buses,
hiring
more
drivers
and
trying
to
do
what's
called
compressing
the
window
now
because
of
our
snowy
conditions.
F
F
So
some
of
the
districts
that
have
made
big
changes
like
Seattle
were
trying
to
compress
that
window
in
the
morning
and
they
found
that
traffic
was
just
a
big,
a
constraint
as
snow
and
ice.
So
that's
been.
One
of
the
things
that
has
really
been
an
issue
is
districts,
realizing
that
if
they
want
to
make
a
difference,
they're
going
to
have
to
make
some
adjustments
to
Transportation
or
they're
going
to
have
to
be
relatively
created.
F
We
believe
that
elementary
kids
aren't
mourning
people
either
and
they
have
published
research
that
establishes
that
there
may
be
some
impacts
there.
However,
because
most
Elementary
children
go
to
go
to
bed
early,
7
30,
7
45.
What
have
you?
The
research
demonstrates
that
those
children
get
up
early
in
the
morning
and
they
start
the
energetic
part
of
their
day
right
at
the
start
of
the
day.
So
we've
done
quite
a
bit
of
anecdotal
focus
group
work
with
our
teachers
and
our
principles.
F
F
Quite
a
few
of
the
significant
researchers
have
also
explored
this.
It's
not
as
easy
to
measure,
but
Kyla
wallstrom.
One
of
these
senior
research
people
has
also
explored
that
and
found
that
there
is
demonstrable
proof
that
the
elementary
child's
learning
window
is
earlier
than
the
secondary
child's
learning
window.
F
So,
just
to
talk
about
a
little
bit
about
this,
let's
see
here
other
pros
and
cons.
There
are
some
benefits
from
a
sleep
time
changes
where
we
push
high
school
students
and
middle
school
students
later
associated
with
less
depression
indicators,
especially
post
pandemic.
A
lot
of
us
are
really
concerned
about
the
wellness
of
our
students,
and
so
what
we
have
found
in
districts
that
have
had
significant
start
time,
changes
that
were
research
compliant,
meaning
the
secondary
children
start
later.
F
The
elementary
children
start
earlier,
they've
found
less
depression,
symptoms,
less
school
day,
fatigue,
less
tobacco
and
junk
food
usage
and
children
just
basically
making
better
decisions.
In
general,
we've
also
detected
a
lot
of
school
climate
and
family
climate
benefits
where
adolescent
children
become
easier
to
get
along
with
when
they
have
had
enough
sleep
and
we've
heard
anecdotal
evidence,
time
and
time
again
where
family
climate
has
been
significantly
improved
by
a
change
in
school
start
time.
Now,
a
lot
of
the
opposition
research
has
said
that
children
just
cheat.
F
They
know
that
when
they
don't
have
to
go
to
school
in
the
morning
until
later,
they're
going
to
stay
up
later
and
what
we're
finding
is
that's
not
happening
because
of
circadian
rhythm
children
get
into
a
certain
body
Rhythm,
regardless
of
the
age
category
that
students
are
in
elementary
school
students
have
a
circadian
rhythm
for
their
age.
Category
middle
school
students
have
one
and
high
school
students
have
one
and
time
and
time
again
we
have
demonstrated
anecdotals
that
secondary
children
don't
goof
around
in
the
morning.
F
F
Other
pros
and
cons
you
can
read
there
are
a
lot
of
military
parents
have
said
that
that
morning
time
they
have
with
their
Elementary.
Children
is
their
quality
time,
and
so
we've
heard
anecdotals
to
that
effect,
that
for
military
families
that
work
well
into
the
early
evening,
they
are
butted
right
up
against
when
their
child
goes
to
bed.
So
if
you
have
one
spouse,
that
is
on
that
kind
of
a
military
schedule,
a
lot
of
those
families
have
said
that
morning.
Time
is
when
I
visit
with
my
Elementary
School
child.
F
So
that's
been
another
anecdotal
that
we've
heard
on
the
con
side.
Staff
work
schedules
the
school
start
times
that
are
in
place
here
in
Anchorage
have
been
here
for
20
or
25
years.
We've
been
on
this
schedule
and
a
lot
of
folks
have
really
gotten
used
to
that.
A
lot
of
people's
employment
patterns
are
linked
to
that.
It's
difficult
to
make
a
living
as
a
school
teacher,
and
we
know
that
people
have
you
know
creative
employment
structures
that
they
have
worked
very
hard
to
establish
and
school
start
time.
F
F
Other
things,
a
part
of
the
reason
why
this
has
become
such
a
critical
issue
nationally,
as
we're
coming
out
of
a
pandemic
with
children
that
are
having,
quite
frankly,
a
lot
of
Wellness
issues
and
a
lot
of
districts
are
searching
for
something
that
they
can
do
to
give
kids
an
edge
and
give
kids
back
some
of
what
they've
lost,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
issue
associated
with
with
a
start
time
change
would
the
benefit
that
high
school
students
and
middle
school
students
would
see
from
that
be
valuable
and
help
heal
some
of
the
damage
that
they've
incurred
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic.
F
F
Here's
a
chronology
of
where
we've
been
there
was
a
petition
circulated
and
signed
by
a
large
number
of
high
school
students
in
late
2016
early
2017.
The
board
picked
up
the
issue:
I
ran
about
45
focus
groups,
open
houses
and
town
halls,
similar
to
what
we're
doing
tonight
or
focusing
on
small
groups
of
Pediatricians
child
care
providers,
teachers
at
all
levels.
We
have
done
quite
a
bit
of
that
already.
F
We've
had
six
meetings,
focus
group
meetings
with
elementary
middle
and
high
school
teachers,
we've
had
actually
nine
I
think
we've
had
six
meetings
with
principals
at
all
three
levels.
Most
of
the
preliminary
results
on
their
preferences
are
affirmative
for
making
some
sort
of
a
research
compliant
change.
F
F
As
we
went
through
that
process,
we
finally
made
a
recommendation
to
change
High
School
to
an
8
A.M
start
from
7
30.
Elementary
was
pulled
into
second
position
at
8,
45
and
middle
school
was
placed
at
9
30
and
our
academic
day
is
six
and
a
half
hours.
Now
we
just
came
off
on
March
9th
from
an
extended
academic
day
because
of
snowmageddon,
and
so
now
we're
back
to
our
six
and
a
half
hour
academic
day.
F
So
up
at
the
top
there,
you
see
our
current
schedule,
which
is
High
School
Middle
School
Elementary,
which
is
kind
of
bass
awkwards
from
what
the
research
is
saying.
Our
start
order
should
be,
and
so
the
scenarios
that
you
see
try
to
tweak
the
start
order
or
change
push
back
the
start
time
in
order
to
give
children
some
sort
of
research
compliant
relief.
F
So
our
first
scenario
that
was
considered
back
in
2018
was
to
put
Elementary
in
first
position:
Middle
School,
second
and
high
school.
Last,
in
order
to
get
his
research
compliant
as
we
possibly
could
so
that
7
30
start
for
elementary
school
students
was
troubling
for
a
lot
of
families
because
of
cold
and
darkness,
and
the
idea
that
children
weren't
very
well
equipped
to
deal
with
that
time
of
day,
even
though
it's
the
time
at
which
the
alert
part
of
their
academic
day
begins.
But
that
was
the
first
scenario
that
we
considered
scenario
two.
F
We
pushed
that
back.
15
minutes
stayed
with
the
same
research
compliance
start
order,
and
you
see
the
little
smiley
faces
on
the
over
on
the
right
that
indicate
research
compliant
a
scenario:
three
reversed
High
School
in
middle
school,
because
we
were
getting
a
lot
of
concern
from
high
school
students
who
were
in
sports.
F
So
that
was
one
of
the
concerns
that
was
noted
there,
and
we
were
looking
at
trying
to
narrow
that
Gap
as
much
as
possible
and
that
third
scenario
was
actually
research
compliant
and
put
Elementary
School
in
that
745
start
range
now,
you're,
seeing
that
hour
and
a
half
window
between
the
first
start
and
the
last
start
and
one
of
the
things
that
we're
exploring
with
our
transportation
department
is.
Can
we
narrow
that
a
little
bit
now
snowmageddon
kind
of
proved
that
maybe
it
should
be
an
hour?
F
My
tween
starts
and
if
you
saw
Northern
Lights
neck
down
to
two
two
lanes,
one
each
way
you
understand
what
can
happen
to
us
in
the
middle
of
the
winter
with
driving
conditions,
but
we're
trying
to
explore.
Can
we
do
what
Seattle
did
Seattle
narrowed
their
window
to
an
hour
and
so
a
lot
of
the
districts
that
have
been
able
to
satisfy
as
many
parties
as
possible
and
do
something
that
was
still
research
compliant
narrowed
their
window
almost
to
an
hour?
F
We
know
we
probably
can't
do
that
here,
but
can
we
do
it
somewhat?
So
that's
one
of
the
questions
that
we
want
to
ask
here
are
some
of
the
pros
and
cons
for
these
various
issues.
There
was
a
latch
key
concern
for
middle
schools:
kids,
not
having
Supervision
in
the
morning
if
a
parent
had
to
go
off
to
work
and
they
were
there
until
9,
15
or
9
30,
when
their
school
day
would
start
and
so
a
lot
of
the
districts
that
wound
up.
F
Putting
Middle
School
in
last
position
funded
a
proctored
morning,
study
hall
for
middle
school
children
where
they
would
go
to
middle
school
early.
They
would
go
to
the
library,
the
cafeteria.
They
would
sit
down
for
45
minutes
and
do
their
homework
or
work
on
some
extra
projects
or
do
something
to
that
effect,
and
there
would
be
someone
in
the
room
to
supervise.
F
There
are
other
pros
and
cons
there
for
these
first
three
scenarios
that
you
see,
then
we
came
up
with
some
compromises
again.
This
is
back
in
2018
and
you
can
see
scenario
four
there,
where
we
went
to
a
high
school
elementary
middle
start
order
and
pushed
High
School
back
to
eight
o'clock
and
that
had
the
effect
with
elementary
kids
coming
in
at
8
45.
They
went
earlier
so
they
went
earlier
in
their
power
band,
but
not
way
early,
but
they
got
into
more
the
alert
part
of
their
day.
F
The
high
school
kids
pushed
back
more
into
the
alert
part
of
their
day
and
the
middle
school
students
followed
at
9
30..
So
you
can
see
that
there
were
some
benefits
there.
If
you
look
at
the
end
time
for
2
30
for
high
school
kids
and
the
end
time
for
elementary
at
3
15.,
there's
45
minutes
to
go
pick
up
your
little
brother
if
you're
a
high
school
student
with
a
car
who's
responsible
and
is
able
to
take
care
of
younger
siblings.
So
that
was
considered
to
be
desirable.
F
F
Five
was
a
research
compliant
variant
that
we
proposed,
where
we
pulled
Elementary
into
first
position
and
got
them
right
in
the
front
end
of
the
school
day
right
in
the
middle
of
their
power
bin
based
on
their
physiology,
but
some
of
the
concerns
there
were
that
in
schools,
where
we
already
have
a
lot
of
children
unable
to
get
to
school
on
time
that
that
might
exacerbate
that.
So
that's
another
concern
is
that
for
communities
where
children
have
a
hard
time
getting
to
school
on
time,
if
we
go
earlier,
would
that
worsen
that
situation?
F
So
that's
something
that
we
have
to
very
much
pay
attention
to?
Is
the
capacity
of
parents
to
do
what
their
kids
need
and
if
we
make
this
kind
of
change,
are
they
able
to
adapt?
Are
they
able
to
continue
to
serve
their
children
and
are
they
able
to
get
kids
to
school
on
time?
But
that
was
a
fallback
order
and
you
can
see
the
two
smiley
faces
over
there.
So
both
the
high
school
and
middle
school
start
would
be
research
compliant.
F
Castles.
This
is
a
longitudinal
study
that
was
done
in
Cherry,
Creek
School,
District,
Suburban,
Denver,
heavily
traffic
impacted
District,
not
Snow,
Country,
it
snows
there,
but
nothing
like
here.
There's
not
that
kind
of
Darkness
there
that
there
is
here,
but
there
is
some
of
the
worst
traffic
in
the
mountain
states
in
that
community
and
it
has
a
bearing
on
their
ability
to
get
kids
to
school.
So
they
made
a
bunch
of
changes.
F
They
really
believed
in
the
idea
of
trying
to
do
something:
research
compliant
and
they
hired
Lisa,
meltzler
and
Kyla
wallstrom
to
do
a
longitudinal
study
as
they
went
along.
What
they
found
was
when
they
went
to
a
start
order
that
was
research
compliant
that
the
elementary
children
did
not
get.
They
got
one
minute
less
sleep
a
night,
so
there
was
no
real
negative
impact
to
Elementary
children
by
sliding
into
the
first
position.
F
F
We
didn't
really
have
a
rash
of
tardiness,
and
this
was
one
of
the
more
successful
school
start
time
changes,
although
this
District
did
have
to
throw
a
lot
of
money
at
transportation
and
they
made
their
change
right
in
the
dead
center
of
the
school
bus
driver
crisis
nationally,
where
we
have
become
very
challenged
in
our
ability
to
hire
school
bus
drivers.
Other
things
that
happened
there
at
the
elementary
level.
F
As
far
as
improvements.
First
period-
and
there
were
other
student
performance
issues-
I'm
just
focusing
on
first
period
here,
because
this
is
where
I
notice,
students
struggling
the
most
at
the
middle
school
level.
Most
of
the
indicators
are
improved,
four
to
eight
percent
and
at
the
high
school
level,
most
indicators
improved
11
to
17
percent
from
a
student
performance
standpoint
and
that
leaped
on
into
second
period
and
overall
academic
performance
for
both
age
ranges
of
children.
F
Regarding
Athletics
at
the
middle
school
level,
we
did
have
some
impacts
so
about
eight
percent
of
middle
school
students
participating
in
extracurriculars
or
at
our
Sports
after
school
said
they
were
less
able
to
do
so,
and
that
was
concentrated
on
girls.
Quite
frankly,
so
young
women
were
saw
some
impact,
one
in
five
said
that
they
had
or
I'm
sorry,
one
in
ten
said
that
they
had
some
sort
of
an
impact
as
far
as
their
ability
to
do
everything
they
wanted
to
do
after
school.
F
For
young
men
we
had
better
performance
at
the
high
school
level,
only
two
percent
of
students
cited
an
impact
in
their
extracurricular
or
their
Sports
goals
for
what
they
wanted
to
do
after
school
activities
was
less
impacted
employment.
We
actually
had
seven
percent
of
high
school
students
more
likely
to
have
a
job
because
they
were
more
real
West
real
well
rested,
and
we
did
a
little
bit
of
a
study
back
in
2018
of
the
percentage
of
high
school
students
who
were
employed
in
Anchorage
versus
I.
Think
I
did
Boise
Spokane
Eugene.
F
So
we
don't
have
more
student
employees
here
we
have
a
high
percentage
of
kids
that
are
contributing
to
their
family
income
and
we
have
to
respect
what
what
a
lot
of
these
young
men
and
women
are
saying
are
things
that
are
important
to
them
and
how
much
after
school
time
that
they
have.
You
can
see
other
improvements
there
in
grades
and
other
things.
F
H
All
right,
thank
you.
Eric
is
the
senior
director
for
elementary
Ed
and
here
to
talk
about
our
professional
learning.
Communities
and
I'll.
Give
you
a
little
bit
of
an
overview
on
professional
learning
communities.
We
brought
this
to
the
school
board
work
session
yesterday
as
a
proposal
for
next
school
year
in
yesterday's
work
session.
Basically,
what
a
professional
Learning
Community
is
is
it's
a
model
of
professional
development
for
all
staff.
What
the
recommendation
is
from
us
would
be
a
60-minute
late
start
at
every
level.
H
What
it
would
do
would
be
a
weekly
and
ongoing
professional
development
model.
One
of
the
one
of
the
constraints
that
we
currently
have
is
the
ability
to
have
that
consistent
and
ongoing
professional
development
for
all
of
our
staff.
What
this
would
do,
it'll
provide
an
opportunity
for
all
of
our
teachers
to
be
working
together
more
consistently
in
order
to
do
that,
what
we
want
to
do
is
provide
offer
a
dedicated
time
on
a
consistent
basis
throughout
the
year
at
the
high
school
level,
at
the
middle
school
level
and
at
the
elementary
level.
H
Currently,
we
do
have
a
PLC
model
at
high
schools.
It
is
a
45-minute
period.
What
would
change
is
to
go
to
a
60-minute
period
and
it
would
be
a
late
student
start
at
that
time.
At
the
middle
school
model
it'd
be
similar,
it
would
be
a
60
Minute
late
start
and
at
the
elementary
level
it'd
be
a
60
Minute
late
start,
it
would
fall
only
on
Mondays
and
it'll,
be
starting
from
the
beginning
of
the
Fall
2024
all
the
way
through
the
end
of
the
school
year.
H
It
really
would
allow
us
to
focus
on
our
our
major
initiatives:
everything
from
Career
College
and
Career
life
Readiness
to
our
curriculum
implementations,
our
mental
health
of
our
students,
our
social
emotional
learning,
our
multi-tiered
systems
of
support.
Essentially,
every
initiative
that
we
have
would
allow
us
to
move
the
needle
for
students,
the
evidence
and
body
base
and
research
behind
that
supports
it.
We
do
have
friends
to
nearby
the
Matsu
Valley
recently.
H
H
What
we've
done
is
we've
provided
on
the
on
the
next
slide.
We've
provided
the
scenarios
of
what
that
would
look
like
on
Monday,
so
in
scenario
one
you
can
see
our
PLC
start
would
basically
be
a
60-minute
late
start
for
students.
The
end
times
would
say
the
same
in
each
of
the
scenarios
that
were
provided
by
Shannon
in
scenario
two,
so
Elementary
would
start
in
San
R2
at
8
45
for
students,
Middle
School
would
start
at
9
30
instead
of
8
30
and
high
school.
H
Instead
at
10
15
instead
of
9
15.,
and
you
move
on
to
scenario,
three
would
be
the
same.
60
Minutes
delayed
start
here
in
scenario.
Four,
the
same
examples
would
happen.
Instead
of
eight
o'clock
would
be
nine
o'clock
for
high
school
9
45
for
elementary
and
10
30
for
middle
school,
with,
with
the
same
ending
times
that
were
outlining
before.
H
The
the
thank
you
so
one
point
to
clarify
with
the
student
late
start.
What
would
happen?
Sorry,
what
would
happen
would
be.
Buses
would
essentially
run
60
minutes
later
for
that
time,
so
students
would
be
coming
to
school
later,
buses
would
run
later
and
so
just
to
be
abundantly
clear,
it'd
be
a
full
60
Minutes
everything
would
dial
back
60
Minutes
at
the
beginning
of
the
day,
whatever
model
that
would
be
adopted.
F
Thank
you
so
we'd
like
to
take
a
moment
and
respond
to
live
questions
we
have
so.
The
survey
is
up
in
four
languages
right
now,
so
we
have
four
QR
codes
here
and
if
you
can
focus
your
camera
on,
the
QR
code
you
would
choose.
English
is
in
the
upper
left.
Spanish
is
on
the
upper
right.
We
have
Korean
on
the
lower
left
and
Tagalog
on
the
lower
right.
We
have
a
Samoan
survey
and
a
Hmong
survey
that
will
be
up
on
our
website,
probably
by
Thursday.
F
So
if
you
would
like
to
take
the
survey
in
those
two
languages,
they
will
be
available
at
that
time.
I
will
put
the
leave
these
up
for
a
moment
and
then
I'll
get
the
English
survey
up
really
larger.
If
you're
unable
to
get
this
to
scan
into
the
camera
application
in
your
phone
from
the
distance
that
you
are
in
the
audience,
I
will
put
up
the
bigger
QR
for
folks
that
might
be
on
the
back
row
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
invite
you
to
take
a
roughly
five
minutes.
F
It
takes
to
take
the
survey
and
to
consider
coming
forward
and
asking
questions
or
making
comments
regarding
this
issue.
We
will
record
everything
that
is
said
and
make
sure
that
the
board
members
who
are
not
present
tonight
have
access
to
your
comments.
We
have
one
microphone
ready
over
here.
We
have
another
microphone
ready
over
there
and
I'll
just
invite
you
to
come
up.
We
have
a
sign
up
list
and
I'll
be
able
to
call
on
people
by
name
and
I'd
like
to
call
Marnie
Eggleston
up
first
Marnie.
Are
you
available?
I
Okay,
so
I
I
wasn't
sure
if
I
would
have
a
comment
because
they
I
wasn't
I,
wanted
to
hear
the
presentation
first,
but
they
said
just
sign
up
and
so
I
will
just
make
a
comment.
I
think
I
first
heard
the
this
information,
probably
over
20
years
ago,
that
it
was
important
for
high
school
students.
That's
way
before
I
even
had
a
family.
I
I
now
have
a
kid
who
in
high
school
I'm
just
excited,
that's
even
an
option,
a
possibility
that
we
would
think
about
this,
because
I
work
in
mental
health
and
knowing
this
all
along,
but
watching
High
School
start
times
get
earlier
and
earlier
and
knowing
that,
like
in
my
case,
my
kids
were
always
up
at
six
o'clock.
I
It
didn't
matter
what
time
we
went
to
bed
and
and
my
high
school
kids
are
going
to
sleep
at
like
11
o'clock
midnight
doing
homework,
and
then
they
have
to
wake
up
by
five
six
o'clock
in
the
morning
to
do
their
activities.
It
just
makes
sense
to
flip
that
switch
and
put
the
little
kids
earlier
in
the
and,
if
you're
doing
after
scare,
before
school
or
after
school
care
for
little
kids,
it
really
is
just
a
matter
of
buffing.
I
You
know
creating
more
of
a
buffer
after
school
you're
going
to
have
to
do
child
care
in
two
spots
anyway,
you
might
as
well
just
stubble
them
up
and
put
them
at
the
end,
and
maybe
that's
simplistic,
but
that
even
when
my
kids
were
in
elementary
school,
that's
we
had
to
do
early
start.
We
had
to
do
late
care,
it
really
isn't
doesn't
matter
if
we
just
double
it
up
at
the
bottom
anyway.
F
Great,
thank
you
Marnie.
If
you
could
make
sure
I
get
your
contact
information,
I'd
love
to
ask
you
some
questions
about
your
mental
health
experience
with
with
this,
as
a
professional
I'd
like
to
call
Leah
Philippi
next,
please
Leah.
J
Yes,
I
also
am
very
excited
that
the
district
is
taking
these
issues
back
up
and
I
agree
that
a
nine
o'clock
start
time
does
not
serve
our
youngest
students.
J
Well,
as
you
know,
many
little
kids
get
up
way
before
nine
many
Elementary
school-aged
students
have
parents
who
have
to
be
at
work
before
nine
and
are
paying
for
before
care
to
cover
that
time
slot
anyway,
and
there
are
Community
Partners
who
offer
on-site
Care
at
many
of
our
schools,
including
the
school
that
my
son
attended
when
he
was
in
elementary
school,
which
was
Government
Hill,
but
that
had
a
wait
list.
So
that's
not
a
full
solution
for
everyone.
My.
A
J
and
that's
too
early
frankly
he's
a
good
kid
he's
he's
motivated
he's
engaged
he
likes
school.
He
he
even
liked
his
first
period
class,
which
is
science
but
he's
tired,
and
we
really
have
an
opportunity
here
to
make
an
enormously
beneficial
change
for
our
community
and
I
hope
that
this
time
the
board
perceives
how
great
the
benefit
to
families
would
be.
Even
if
a
particular
age
group's
time
slot
were
changed
by
as
little
as
30
minutes.
I
mean
30.
J
Minutes
for
me
would
be
30
more
minutes
of
sleep
for
my
kid
every
night
of
the
week,
and
that
would
be
huge.
One
thing
that
I
did
not
see
presented
in
the
scenarios
from
2018
and
I'm
curious
to
know
if
the
district
is
considering
now
is
reordering
to
put
Middle
School
first
and
if
you'll
hear
me
out.
J
I
think
the
way
I
think
of
it
is
this:
nobody
wants
to
go
first
right,
high
schoolers,
don't
want
to
go
to
school
at
seven
o'clock
or
eight,
because
it's
early
and
Elementary
School
parents
don't
want
their
kids
walking
at
on
dark
streets
at
seven
o'clock
in
the
morning.
But
just
numerically,
the
number
of
kids,
which
is
fewest,
is
Middle
School
like
it's.
Even
when
you
move
to
the
middle
schools,
whichever
were
the
sixth
graders,
join
the
seventh
and
eighth
graders
at
all
schools.
It's
three
grades
worth
of
kids.
J
J
If,
if
the
concern
for
military
families
is
they're
not
going
to
get
to
see
their
littlest
kids
at
all,
if
they
go
to
school
as
early
as
7
30.,
if
the
school
for
high
school
concern
for
high
schoolers
is
that
anytime,
before
8
30
is
too
early?
What
I
did
not
see
in
any
of
the
five
scenarios
back
in.
F
Problems
great
thank
you.
Leah
I've
had
scenarios
that
have
put
basically
run
all
of
the
viable
options
and,
as
we
move
forward
into
a
conversation
with
the
board,
regarding
what
would
they
like
to
zero
in
on?
Well,
certainly
explore
that
and
I
appreciate
your
comments.
F
L
Know
who
Laura
Herman
I
did
sign
up,
but
I
think
I'm
at
the
end
of
the
list.
I'll
keep
it
short
and
sweet.
I
don't
have
any
children,
but
I
did
go
to
the
Anchorage
School
District
from
sixth
grade
through
graduation
in
12th
grade
from
West
High
School.
This
was
something
that
needed
to
happen.
I'm
34
years
old.
It
needed
to
happen
when
I
was
in
school
and
there's
no
reason
that
we
should
delay
this
at
any
time.
I
personally
support
scenario:
two
high
school
students
should
be
getting
as
much
sleep
as
possible.
L
K
My
name
is
Carla
Kai
Hollingsworth
I
am
a
parent
of
a
ninth
grader,
as
well
as
an
ASD,
employee
and
I,
fully
support
making
a
change
in
start
times,
I
understand
it's
very
complicated
and
that
we
need
to
try
and
minimize
the
impacts.
The
negative
impacts
I
think
that
the
research
shows
that
we
can
positively
impact
our
children
and
I
concur
with
what
the
previous
person
said
that
we're
impacting
them
for
their
whole
lives
during
intense
times
of
change
and
growth,
and
what
we
can
do
to
best
support
them.
K
My
a
couple
thoughts
I
had
one.
Perhaps
we
can
provide
some
more
child
care.
I
think
you
spoke
to
that
for
the
elementary
students.
Where
there's
a
gap,
we
could
get
creative
about
that.
We
already
know
that
providing
after
school
tutoring
can
be
really
beneficial
for
students,
and
maybe
that
becomes
more
of
a
a
common
thing
rather
than
a
when
we
have
certain
kinds
of
funding.
Or
you
know,
certain
groups
of
people
have
access
to
Federal
funding
to
access
that.
K
Maybe
we
factor
that
into
our
structure
in
terms
of
the
giving
time
for
the
teachers
to
do
their
collaborative
work
together.
I'm
questioning
whether
or
not
Monday
morning
is
the
most
optimal
time
for
teachers
to
do
that.
Maybe
it
is,
maybe
it
isn't:
I
didn't
catch.
Why
that
time
was
chosen.
K
I
know,
for
me,
Monday
morning
is
kind
of
a
scramble
to
get
ready
for
the
week
and
so
perhaps
having
people
in
their
flow,
and
then
thinking
about
things
and
having
something
more
in
the
middle
of
the
week
might
be
more
effective,
I
don't
know,
and
then
the
last
thing
I
want
to
say
is
in
in
terms
of
elementary
school
students
with
military
families
not
having
as
much
access
to
their
parents.
K
I
think
that's
actually
incredibly
significant
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
make
our
schools
very
welcoming
to
parents
more
welcoming
than
we
currently
do
and
there's
a
lot
of
factors
to
that.
But
that
could
be
one
piece
of
a
solution
to
that
challenge
is
to
invite
in
a
in
a
real
way
those
families
to
be
more
participatory
and
have
access
to
their
children
during
the
school
day,
which
is
not
something
that
they
perhaps
currently
have.
Access
to
and
they've
never
had
that
access
because
of
their
work
schedule.
So
that
might
actually
there's.
B
G
K
That
we
could
get
more
collaboration
between
parents
and
schools
within
those
communities.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
Hi,
thank
you
for
persisting
with
this
issue.
My
name
is
Lisa
Alexia
I'm,
a
physician
assistant
I'm,
also
a
mother
of
two
teen
boys,
one
of
whom
graduated
last
year.
The
other
one
is
a
sophomore,
is
a
physician
assistant
in
Alaska,
and
a
former
Community
Health
practitioner
have
worked
in
a
lot
of
different
places
in
the
state
and
currently
I
work
in
mental
health,
as
in
Psychiatry
I.
Think
the
start
time
issue
in
Alaska
is
Complicated
by
the
fact
that
our
time
zones
are
shifted
so
far
and
distorted
so
far.
M
So
if
you
look
at
a
sundial
the
times
that
high
school
students
in
Anchorage
and
Fairbanks
are
getting
up
to
go
to,
school
are
probably
the
most
distorted
in
the
nation,
representing
a
rather
extreme
form
of
sleep
deprivation
for
kids,
who
are
already
biologically
shifted
far
more
than
the
lower
48
research
would
suggest
so.
I
think
this
is
an
extremely
important
thing
to
consider
in
pushing
the
times
of
start
times
later
and
I
think
it
would
be
worth
considering
that
we
need
to
push
all
of
the
times
later.
M
No
one
wants
to
see
their
elementary
kids
going
to
school.
In
the
dark
and
that's
a
reasonable
request,
so
I
think
all
of
that
needs
to
come
into
consideration
and
some
of
those
are
legislative
issues
beyond
the
scope
of
starting
school
later,
such
as
eliminating
daylight
savings
time
and
other
issues,
but
the
school
start
time
is
the
place
to
start,
because
that's
where
we're
here
as
a
physician
assistant
I,
would
say
that
the
issue
of
circadian
rhythms
and
sleep
is
what
we're
talking
about
that
sleep.
M
Deprivation
has
tremendous
impacts
on
Mental
Health,
on
physical
health,
on
the
ability
to
learn-
and
you
know
this
takes
its
worst
toll
in
the
form
of
suicide,
and
our
rates
of
learning
in
Alaska
are
rates
of
suicide.
Are
rates
of
car
accidents
and
unintentional
injury
are
so
high
and
it's
never
been
researched
to
see
what
is
the
impact
of
having
such
a
distorted,
Solar
School
start
times
distorted
really
across
the
state,
and
I
will
say
that
one
of
my
children
did
some
research
on
this
as
a
junior
high
school
student
and
compiled
a
spreadsheet.
M
Looking
at
what
the
solar
equivalent
school
start
times
were
in
various
districts
throughout
the
state
and
there's
some
incredible
research
opportunities
there,
but
really
the
upshot
of
it.
When
you
look
at
all
the
research
about
sleep,
deprivation
and
circadian
rhythms,
and
what
we're
dealing
with
in
Alaska
I
cannot
imagine
why
we
continue
to
torture
our.
F
N
N
This
means
that
teenage
students
are
forced
to
wake
up
well
before
reasonable,
often
feeling
groggy
and
disoriented,
as
they
drag
themselves
out
of
bed.
I
know
this
was
something
that
was
difficult
for
me
as
a
student
and
once
teens
arrive
at
school,
they're
expected
to
be
alert
and
engaged
for
hours
on
end,
even
though
their
bodies
need
more
sleep.
N
That's
why
we
do
need
to
change
school
start
times
by
pushing
the
start
of
the
school
day
to
a
more
reasonable
hour.
We
can
give
students
the
chance
to
get
the
best
rest.
They
need
to
be
at
their
best.
Research
has
shown
that
when
schools
have
delayed
their
start
times,
students
have
seen
a
range
of
benefits.
N
They
report
feeling
more
awake
and
alert
in
class
and
are
better
able
to
concentrate
on
their
studies.
Attendance
rates
have
improved
as
grades
as
grades
and
tests,
as
have
grades
and
test
scores,
and
perhaps
most
importantly,
students,
report
feeling
happier
and
more
engaged
with
their
learning.
Of
course,
there
will
be
some
logistical
challenges
involved
in
making
this
change.
One
of
my
main
concerns
is
regarding
how
families
that
rely
on
high
school
students
providing
child
care
and
having
employment,
make
it
through
it's
complicated,
and
we
need
to
ensure
we
minimize
negative
impacts
impacts
like
those.
N
Even
so.
The
benefits
are
clear
and
support
the
better
student
outcomes
that
this
District
needs
earlier
start
times
for
elementary
students
also
eliminates
the
needs
for
families
to
pay
for
both.
Before
and
after
school
programs,
allowing
parents
like
myself
the
ability
to
get
to
work
after
dropping
our
young
children
off
at
school,
rather
than
dropping
them
off
at
a
program
an
hour
before
school
starts
and
paying,
and
then
School
ending,
of
course,
before
work
and
having
to
pay
again
for
an
after-school
program.
F
G
Hey
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Mike
grunge,
I'm,
testifying
and
on
behalf
of
myself
and
don't
represent
the
opinions
of
the
Department
of
Defense
of
the
U.S
military
I.
Apologize
I've
got
another
meeting
going
on
in
my
ears
right
now
with
the
house
education
committee
I'm
here
to
testify
and
supportive
later
start
times
for
our
students
and
I
want
to
commend
the
school
district
for
looking
at
this
and
reinvestigating
it.
It
is
a
shame
that
we
wasted
a
perfectly
good
emergency
to
make
drastic
changes.
Drastic
changes
are
required.
G
Our
community,
our
state,
our
community
of
the
state
of
Alaska,
is
losing
the
the
18
to
34
year
old,
young
adults
that
we
need
at
a
record
rate.
We
need
to
entice
people
to
come
into
the
state.
We
need
to
increase
outcomes
for
our
students
and
get
these
young
professionals
back
up
into
Alaska
and
give
them
hope
all
right.
We
know
that
this
is
a
better
way
to
do
to
provide
the
education
that
our
kids
need.
So
please,
let's
make
the
change.
Let's
get
it
done.
F
F
There
are
all
four
QR
codes
if
you
need
them
again,
and
this
information
will
be
available
on
the
web
if
you'd
like
to
dive
a
little
bit
deeper
into
some
of
the
material
and
again
we're
really
grateful
that
so
many
of
you
have
come
out
this
evening
to
explore
this
issue.
Does
anybody
have
any
other
comments
before
we
conclude
our
evening?
O
I'm
sorry,
my
name
is
and
I
had
a
crushed
up
while
you're
doing
your
presentation
about
not
having
opportunities
for
studies
up
here,
but
on
Mondays.
I
know
that
there's
a
late
start
for
high
school
by
a
half
hour
and
I'm
wondering
if
there's
been
any
sort
of
formal
or
informal
survey
of
the
teachers
to
evaluate
how
the
students
do
on
Mondays.
When
they've
had
an
extra
half
hour
of
sleep.
F
Community
activities,
but
I
have
heard
anecdotally
that
a
lot
of
the
faculties
believe
because
they're
in
that
quality,
Circle
style,
environment,
they're,
looking
at
every
child
and
what
those
individual
children
need
that
a
lot
of
them
believe
that,
after
they
initiate
a
PCL
process
that
PLC
process
that
they
feel
they're
better
they're,
better
serving
the
children
and
I
think
there
have
been
a
lot
of
anecdotal
observations
that
children
are
doing
better
I
would
defer
to
Eric
viste
or
Sven
Gustafson
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
any
actual
research.
They
may
be
aware
of.
E
So
thank
you
for
that
question
because
that
will
get
us
to
really
be
looking
at
like
attendance
rates
and
behavior
weights
and
and
success
in
the
classes
and
just
as
a
qualitative
thought
about
this.
I
was
the
principal
West
High
School,
for
for
the
this
last
year,
and
then
this
year
and
once
on
those
Mondays,
we
had
less
Tardis
less
absences.
One
of
the
questions
came.
Why
was
Monday
morning
the
day?
E
The
time
that
we
chose
the
high
schools
chose
that,
because
it's
the
it's
the
highest
rate
of
attendance
for
even
adults
and
afternoons,
are
a
little
a
little
scattered
at
some
of
our
schools
with
activities
and
such
so
Monday
mornings
actually
work
out
very
well
because
of
that
attendance
piece.
But
thank
you
will
definitely
be
looking
into
that.
I
appreciate
it.
E
That
that's
what
I
was
talking
about.
I
I
understand
your
question
yeah,
because
we
do
have
that
right
now,
45
minutes
later
and
just
qualitatively
on
Mondays.
Yes
at
West,
High
School
for
the
past
year
and
a
half
when
I
was
the
principal
there,
you
had
less
tardies,
less
tenants
issues
and
so
forth
on
Mondays.
F
Well,
thanks
again,
everybody
for
coming
out
this
evening,
we're
grateful
to
you.
Please
be
careful
as
you
walk
out.
A
lot
of
these
sidewalks
are
pretty
frozen,
solid
and
three
inches
thick,
so
be
really
careful
as
you
walk
out
and
thanks
again
for
coming,
there
will
be
two
more
of
these
one
Thursday
night
and
one
on
Friday
night,
and
we
and
would
invite
you
to
come
to
another
session.
If
you'd
like
to
hear
some
more
of
what
other
folks
have
to
say
thanks
again
and
everybody
have
a
great
evening.
