@JCPSKY students deserve EVERY possible instructional minute. We cannot achieve our goals unless that's a reality. We need to be able to count on our buses to take students to school.
Read up on the #JCPSStartSmart proposal for more info!

Are you informed about the #JCPSStartSmart proposal? After a lengthy study & numerous drafts, @JCPSKY needs our community to make the shift. Our goal is to ensure families can count on a bus to take their student to school.

All high schools in @JCPSKY currently start at 7:40.But not all students are arriving at 7:40. On too many days @FairdaleHigh & others, students are walking in after 9:30 bc their bus driver had to cover a vacant route or a double or triple run. We must do better. #JCPSStartSmart
I am in support of this for not only @WilderWildcats but our district. Change is never easy but sometimes absolutely necessary—this is one of those times. It is vital for the success of our students @JCPSKY#JcpsStartSmart@JCPSCoS @JCPSAsstSuptES3
More than 20,000 @JCPSKY students have missed classes this school year because of late buses due largely to a bus driver shortage.

Did you know there is no TARC stop near @Doss_High?
Miss your bus? Parent at work? There is no other reliable form of transportation for students. We must ensure @JCPSKY bus routes run on time & consistently for all students.

@JCPSKY is a member of @GreatCitySchls (districts with 75,000 Ss). 85% of them have more than one start time PER LEVEL (elem., middle, and high). Our current reality of 2 main start times is outdated & has caused bus delays for 20k Ss. We must change.
#JCPSStartSmart@JCPSCoS
This is why we need to change the start times. I received these two texts this morning regarding busses at the two schools my children attend. Some of our students are missing multiple hours of school. That is NOT OKAY. #JCPSStartSmart
Shoutout to @Ballard_AOL staff, students, & parents who often don’t know how late a bus may arrive or leave & have to adjust on the spot. The #JCPSStartSmart proposal will reduce confusion & increase reliability for all students.
@JCPSCoS@JCPSAsstSuptHS @JCPSHighEA_MAC
#JCPSStartSmart Currently, 20,000 students are missing classes due to bus driver shortages. Large districts around the country have multiple start times: Charlotte-Mecklenburg has 148,299 students - # of start times: 7 elem, 7 middle, 4 high sites.google.com/jefferson.k…
20 Thousand students have been impacted due to transportation issues.
3 Million instructional minutes lost.
A change is necessary for the students of the District. Review the District Start Smart website for more info: bit.ly/3Is22Wi#JCPSStartSmart
The @JCPSKY#JCPSStartSmart proposal means that 83% of schools would change their start time by an hour or less. The payoff for this shift? Every student guaranteed an on time bus to school.
@JCPSCoS@JCPSAsstSuptHS
There are at least 80 students who routinely miss up to 2.5 hours of school everyday at Fairdale High School due to transportation shortages. 100s more wait for 2nd and 3rd run buses. This is NECESSARY change for OUR kids. Tune in at 6 PM for more info. #JCPSStartSmart

Thank you @atherton_high admin & staff who have done your best to support students arriving more than an hour late to school on too many days, and for helping families get their students home when the bus was delayed bc of double & triple runs.
@CoachFluhr#JCPSStartSmart
Three million instructional minutes lost. What could we do with that time? Please help us get your child to school on time. Ask your questions tonight at the virtual forum. @ShawneeAcademy#JCPSStartSmart@JCPSCoS
