Seattle Schools Community Forum

I'm a bit late on this one but the the taskforce on bell times released its report to the Board on Wednesday.  The upshot is that they voted that high schools should start an hour later with most elementaries starting 90 minutes later.  There were three minority reports. As I previously reported, Bellevue and Mercer Island are working together on this issues as well as Northshore and Lake Washington.  All these districts and Seattle School District are faced with the financial and logistic challenges that a change would bring. Recommendation: SCORE: [3.45] Modified Flip option             17 votes No Change                              2 votes Extended High School Day     0 votes (Non-voting task force members: 3) 

Here's the Friday Memo section about Bell Times and what different categories of stakeholders thought. The winner - by a mile- is Modified Flip .
