In the wake of parent petitions, calls, and comment, Clarkston school administrators are readjusting school start times.
Under the new schedule, all schools end the day before 4 p.m.
The new times are:
Clarkston Junior High – 7:30-2:20;
High School – 7:45-2:35;
Sashabaw Middle – 7:40-2:30;
Early-start elementaries, Clarkston, North Sashabaw, Pine Knob – 8:25-3:35;
Late-start elementaries, Bailey Lake, Andersonville, Independence, Springfield Plains – 8:45-3:55.
To maintain savings, buses will shuttle students back and forth at all schools except Clarkston and North Sashabaw elementary schools, which will add shutles if needed. In these cases, buses will transport a full load of students home or to school, then return and transport another load.
‘Thank you looking into this,? said board Secretary Ronald Sullivan. ‘This is a good compromise.?
