Teens experience a biological shift to a later sleep-wake cycle

The biological clock of children shifts during adolescence, because of the timing of Melatonin secretion.

11 pm: Teens generally ready to fall asleep

8 am: Teens generally ready to wake up

This “delayed phase syndrome” conflicts with early school start times.

www.sleepinfairfax.org

Teens are chronically sleep-deprived

Teens need 9 ¼ hours of sleep.

Only 15 % get enough sleep.

15 - 20 % increase in car accidents involving teens when they start school earlier;

increased absenteeism and tardiness;

increased abuse of substances, drugs, alcohol

increased depression and emotional difficulties;

increased behavioral problems;

decreased academic performance; decreased athletic performance and difficulty in muscle

recovery - potentially leading to greater number of sports injuries and slower recovery time following injuries;

increased falling asleep in class, poor memory and retention

increased obesity

AM Bus Route Issues

Elementary Class Start 8:35/Secondary 8:31

Some buses start routes earlier than needed adding to student “down time”

One route starts later than needed creating possible VoTech Bus Lateness

Some Buses are under utilized Double Elementary School Unloads increases

student “down time” at elementary schools At least one route is excessively long resulting

in a very early start, a long ride – route should be split

Relationship to Other District Proposals

Pay freeze – The governor has asked districts to freeze pay for employees. The administration has entered a dialogue with the unions about a pay freeze for teachers, staff and administrators.

A freeze would save about $400,000.

District Proposal Points/Needs

Eliminate “down time” between when all students arrive and start of classes

Eliminate Homeroom Replace current breakfast with a “Grab & Go”

breakfast Implement an “Opt Out” Bus Program to Reduce

Bus Stops/Bus Time Carefully Review and Scrutinize Bus Routing
