Summary
Edmonds School District is proposing a major shift for 2027-28: later high school starts at 8:05 AM and middle school at 8:45 AM to boost teen sleep and performance — but elementary schools could still start as early as 7:20 AM, forcing kindergartners to wake up at 5:30 AM. While research backs the benefits for teens, parents are furious, fearing it’ll wreck after-school activities and harm young kids’ development. A petition is gaining steam, and the district admits adding buses would cost a fortune. The School Board says they’re listening — and the final decision isn’t set in stone yet.
