Carson City, Nev. - On Thursday, March 30th at 4:30 P.M. the Nevada State Board of Education will be hosting the first of two upcoming workshops to explore the topic of high school start times. There is research showing that school start times affect academic outcomes for high school students. There are also many considerations that go into setting school start times, including transportation, educator availability, after-school sports and extracurricular activities, and family constraints. The Nevada State Board of Education wants to fully explore the topic and invites the public to take part in the workshop. All are welcome to submit public comment. You can find links to meeting materials and to leave a public comment on the Nevada State Board of Education webpage. The second meeting will be held in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 15th at 9:00 A.M. in the library of Desert Pines High School.
