The Problem

Too-early school start times are a national public health concern with consequences impacting children, families, and the community at large. Besides forcing many children to walk and drive to school in pre-dawn darkness, these hours are creating a generation deprived of the sleep that growing brains and bodies require. ​
York County, Maine is the seventh local chapter in Maine.

Regional Approach

Shared regional technology centers and athletic calendars require cooperation across municipal borders.  After working with local and state education leaders to facilitate this change, school administrators and education associations voiced a collective desire to tackle this issue at a regional level. Today, over 30 Maine pediatric, sports medicine, and family medicine practitioners have enthusiastically endorsed later start times that are in sync with the recommended 8:30 AM or later start times endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
