Ok, was nothing learned last year with the bell schedule? The state & PCSSD need to leave the bell schedule alone. It needs to stay as it is right now. I have a child that will be a senior next year & if she gets a job after school, then she needs to be able to get out at the earlier schedule to get to work on time. Some of the places that hire the high school teens want them there right after they get out. If they go to the later time, then it will cut out of their work time. Besides that, the young elementary kids do not need to be at a bus stop before dark to wait on a bus & be on it for awhile. The middle school & high school kids can handle the longer rides early in the morning. This teaches them responsibility for when they have to go into the job world!! LEAVE IT ALONE & LET IT STAY THE WAY IT IS!!!
