A. School Start/End Time Resolution-First Reading-All Schools Dr. DeBarbieri discussed that this is planned to be on the next board meeting for action. There has been an ongoing process and was previously discussed and reviewed under a round table. This change is in line with our mission and vision.

This change would shift the start time for the High School to 8:45 a.m. for the 2027-2028 school year. Dr. DeBarbieri reviewed the details of the schedule and the drop off will stay the same for the elementary and intermediate level schools. There is a plan to continue enrichment/afterschool care for those students. The drop off for the secondary level will shift from 7:00 am to 8:20 am.
This will be an opportunity to see future shifts in the region. The district will continue to accommodate those students taking advantage of BOCES programs.

He asked if similar schools across the state have taken advantage of their own programs.

Pre-K to 3 is a focus for childcare and then it would be enrichment for older elementary/intermediate level grades.
