Daily News | Lower Merion again delays implementing later start times for high school — until 2024
That brought the district to its current plan, which keeps elementary school starting last. Though some parents called for instead putting it first, given younger children’s tendency to wake earlier, some on the board indicated they weren’t inclined to revisit that arrangement, given the previous backlash.
“This just can’t be put off another year,” said Amy Norr, who had children in kindergarten when district parents first brought sleep medicine physicians to the school board in 1999, and who has spent 10 years working to enact start time changes. Shafer said more time would allow the district to analyze and inform families of how their routes might change as a result of the shifting schedules — for instance, a child who used to spend 10 minutes on the bus might instead ride for 40 minutes, she said.
On Monday night, some parents in favor of start time changes cast doubt on the survey findings — accusing opponents of the plan of an effort to “sabotage” the results. Yair Lev, a parent of young children who had been pushing for a vote against the proposal, accused proponents of the plan of “bullying” him and school board members.
“The science is consistent and it keeps pointing in one direction,” said Indira Gurubhagavatula, a physician and associate professor of sleep medicine at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine who is also a Lower Merion parent.
