to AACPS Public Schools

We respectfully request that AACPS:
1) establish a policy that no child of any age be required to be in class before 8 a.m. or on a bus before 7 a.m., and
2) take steps to implement this policy in the next school year.

Heather Macintosh's Interview with Baltimore's ABC2news
Our 12 local high schools now start at 7:17 a.m. (the earliest start time in the state of Maryland, and one of the earliest in the country) and end at 2:05 p.m. Various groups of parent and other activists have been working to change these hours since the late 1990s.

Ensuring healthy school hours for the children in this county will depend on local as well as state and national efforts.
