## Resource

The House just voted to make daylight saving time permanent under the Sunshine Protection Act — now it’s headed to the Senate. If passed, we’d skip the twice-yearly clock chaos. But school districts like Hampton Roads are already weighing the impact: earlier school openings, adjusted bus routes? Maybe. Some students and parents aren’t sweating it — one eighth grader says early mornings are quiet anyway. Still, the Senate hasn’t acted yet, and if this session ends without a vote, the dream of permanent DST might vanish — unless lawmakers bring it back next time.
