When School Starts Too Early...It's Deadly for Education

 Start School Later Seattle is committed to protecting the health and safety of public school students by advocating for reasonable school start times and working in a positive manner within the local community.

SSL Chapter leaders Cynthia Jatul and Catherine Darley's efforts resulted in a return to healthy hours in Nov. 2015, when the Seattle school board approved later high school start times for the 2016-17 academic school year.

We will have to work with the new superintendent to determine his stand."     - Cindy Jatul, Founder, Start School Later Seattle
