Carmel Clay Schools wants to hear from parents about a proposal to change school start times.
The district released a video explaining what the changes to start times would be and why it is considering them. Click here to watch the video.
The new start times would only affect the middle schools and the high school. Middle schools in the district currently start at 7:45 a.m. and get out at 3:05 p.m. High schoolers start their days at 7:50 a.m. and end at 3:05 p.m.
The proposal would make both schedules run from 8:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.
District leaders are also considering expanding the late start days that high school students have to include the middle schools. Late start days would occur twice a month and school would begin on those days at 9:45 a.m. and end at 3:45 p.m.
The changes, if accepted, would go into effect at the beginning of the 2020-21 school year at the earliest.
Parents can weigh in on the proposal by filling out the questionnaire at this link. The feedback period for the district will close June 26.
