Click the button above to send an email, letter or Tweet to Texas legislators to introduce a bill to Start School Later.
Ashley McKenzie decided to start the Austin Chapter of Start School Later in January 2013 because she remembers too well the stress of maintaining a brutal athletics schedule, early starts for school and operating under severe sleep deprivation on a daily basis. As a yoga instructor and independent sleep consultant, Ashley is committed to establishing more balance in the midst of an overscheduled, stressed society.
Roundrock, TX high school students enjoy an 8:35am start time, but elementary school children are still being sent to school in pre-dawn hours and need to be in class prior to 8:00am. Not only is it unsafe, but young teachers that still have circadian sleep rhythms of teenagers must work with their young charges while fighting off their own sleep deprivation. To join the Austin chapter, get news for local events, request more information or to get involved please fill out the form to the right. |
