“Research tells us that current school start times are not well aligned with the biological clocks for our secondary students. At the same time, changing start times is complex and involves considerations around athletics, activities, working students, and transportation. We hope to have a thoughtful and honest conversation on this topic and what’s right for Jeffco moving forward.” - Dr. Jason Glass

The Task Force
Jeffco Public Schools assembled a task force to look at the logistics and impacts of changing school start times across the district.
Here is more from Dr. Glass about the task force. The task force consists of 50 volunteers and a few staff from all areas of our school district. The teams will work over the summer and then the full group will meet again in the fall.
The working/sharing site for the task force is on a
Google website, and there is also a conversation group page on
Facebook.
