If you have concerns, please send email to boe@hcpss.org. I am sure you will find the new proposals are really troubling. For elementary schools kids, they probably need get up at 6:30AM/6:00AM. I know it will offend some people, but I still want to say the proposals lack common sense. Many parents (including myself) want to have a later high school time. Whenever I have a chance to meet BOE board members, I talked about a later high school start time.
OK, the thought is now: let’s flip the coin and switch elementary school and high school. Just think about little ones walking and waiting for the bus in the dark. There should be better ways to get high school later by not sacrificing our little kids.
I will need some time to analyze those earlier reports again and understand how this comes out and provide my own analysis including school bus cost. If you have good ideas, please share it here or email me at chaowu2016@gmail.com. I will put them together and send the feedback to BOE. I won’t believe the BOE will approve this new schedule in Feb. 2017.
