ACTION ALERT!

While a number of communities in Massachusetts have already adopted the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation to start middle and high school no earlier than 8:30a.m., many other districts in the state are struggling to make these changes and would benefit substantially from legislative support. 

We are extremely pleased to announce an exciting new bill in the Massachusetts legislature filed on January 17, 2019 
​
Please help us get co-sponsors for House Docket #2810 so that it can be assigned as a bill and on to the floor for a vote! Your legislator needs to hear from Massachusetts constituents like you who support healthy school start times.
 
HD #2810 Resolves to create a special commission to study school start times and schedules.

Later School Start Time as a Public-Health Issue  (Commentary by Start School Later's Co-Director, Terra Ziporyn Snider, Ph.D.) 

"We must start regarding 7 a.m. start times as just as unacceptable as refusing to heat schools when the temperature drops."
