An advisory group has been working for months on how to rearrange class start times in Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) Schools, with the school board set to give the plan final approval on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
Based on a recommendation presented to the board, grades K-4 would start most school days at 7:40 a.m., high school at 8:20 a.m. and grades 5-8 at 9 a.m.
The committee had three additional recommendations for the board:
- First, study the possibility of walking zones. The City of Fishers would need to be involved in this.
- Second, take a look at a three-tier bus transportation system.
- Thirdly, study a possible “feeder system” allowing student groups to remain together as they move from one school building to another.
