No 7:11 start time

PPS announced that high schools will start at 7:36, not 7:11, except for Perry which already has an earlier start time.

As predicted a month ago, the 7:11 start time did not stick (http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=49258804305307213&postID=1979876799485769600); it is good to see PPS take community concerns seriously.

Of course PPS could go a step further and obtain community input BEFORE announcing a decision like a 7:11 start time.

This would be a real step away from the Roosevelt approach, where everything was a done deal by the time it was announced, so firmly that it was dfficult to back off or make adjustments.

The PAT cuts may have been a huge logistical factor, not parental imput. Regardless, even if logic was applied this would be a tiny step in the right direction.

Do I hear 8:45?

8:45? Tsk, tsk, that would make sense and be in line with actual research with statistically significant findings.

Silly you.

Thx Mark Brentley and Regina Holley for fighting for the kids, other board members lunched this one.
