Bill > HB05663

This bill proposes establishing a working group to assess the potential modification of school start times in the state, with the goal of aligning with recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The AAP has previously recommended later school start times, particularly for adolescents, to better support students' natural sleep patterns and overall health. The working group would be responsible for evaluating the feasibility of implementing these changes across the state's school districts, likely considering factors such as educational impact, transportation logistics, family scheduling, and potential health benefits for students. By creating this dedicated group, the bill aims to conduct a comprehensive review of current school start times and explore potential adjustments that could improve student well-being and academic performance.
