The Anchorage School Board voted down a proposal to change school start times in 2018, but officials say the issue has remained important post-pandemic.
A first Grader at Birchwood ABC Elementary in Chugiak reads during silent reading time on November 1, 2022. The Anchorage School District is again looking into changing when students start their class days. During a work session Monday, school board officials heard a presentation from consultant Shannon Bingham on the research and potential benefits to changing school start times. Bingham worked with the district when it considered changing start times in 2018.
The 2018 proposal rejected by the school board t would’ve had high school days start 30 minutes later, from 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. Elementary schools would’ve started at 8:45 a.m., 15 minutes earlier. Middle schools would’ve had the largest shift, pushing start times back 75 minutes to 9:30 a.m. Member Andy Holleman, who voted no on the 2018 proposal, said at the time, there was concern over how disruptive the changes in start times would be for families, and whether they would positively impact learning.
Member Kelly Lessens said she doesn’t think the disruption would be too much. She said there’s recent precedent with elementary school start times starting 30 minutes later when schools moved back to in-person learning.
