Start Time of School Questionnaire
J. Willer discussed a later start time, and how we include stakeholders in that decision. Generate questions that we would send to staff, students, parents, and board members in a survey about start times, and provide us with additional items to take into account. The start time suggested would be 8:30 a.m.
J. Willer noted questions to add to the survey.
