[Durham INC] DPS Proposed Bus Schedule Change

[Sheila Miglarese]

The Board of Education is considering a 3-tier bus schedule to improve academic performance and transportation efficiency.  The proposal, which will stagger start and dismissal times, is based on the following:

·         Current studies reveal high school students may perform better if schools start later

·         Some elementary and middle schools have requested a longer instructional day

·         Improved transportation efficiency would result in an increase in state funds, lessening the burden on local funding

 

The Board of Education is seeking public input about the 3-tier proposal.  
A community input session is scheduled for November 9, 6:30- 7:30 p.m. at the Staff Development Center, 2107 Hillandale Road. 

 

Please see the attached summary.
