On
February
19,
2020,
the
Prince
William
County
School
Board
voted
unanimously
to
direct
the
Superintendent
to
study
possible
changes
to
start
times
for
school,
by
means
of
benchmarking,
surveys,
and
further
research.
This
was
also
suggested
by
the
student
representative
to
the
School
Board.
This
spring,
staff
will
begin
the
early
exploration
of
this
study
with
benchmarking,
research,
and
information
gathering,
including
surveys.
This
first
phase
of
work
is
anticipated
to
be
completed
near
the
end
of
the
current
school
year.
No
changes
to
start
times
are
expected
for
the
coming
school
year
(2020-21).
Further
information
and
input
gathering
from
stakeholders
including
parents,
students,
and
staff
will
occur
after
this
initial
phase.
