The proposed changes, related to the district's shortage of school bus drivers, would have some students in school between 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The early schedule is to benefit parents so that they can get to work on time after their kid gets to school or leaves for school. It doesn't do the kids any favors.

I’m sure that’s the reason, but that just means the system is working against human health altogether.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying that a lot of parents would be very against the change because they and their employers are not prepared to deal with it.
