While on the surface it may seem like a simple decision, start times affect every family in our school system. To that end, the district has formed a stakeholder task force to study the issue and make a recommendation to the administration and school board.

In December 2023 the district launched the Start Times Task Force, consisting of parents, staff, and student representatives. The committee's purpose is to study the issue and become local experts on the factors for consideration and impacts on our students and families. Task force members were chosen on the criteria of having an open mind, curiosity and a desire to learn. Then, make recommendations in the best interest of all students.

If you have questions, comments or suggestion for the task force, you can send a message to the task force by visiting https://www.isd477.org/district/transportation/task-force.
