At Crofton MS, we asked for parent comments via e-mail. In only 2 days, we have about a 10% response (phenomenol!) from each parent/household. While the...
Good job, Steve! ... From: schoolplanning2003 To: AACAC@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 11:48 AM Subject: [AACAC] School Hours/Responses At...
The Budget Task Force will be making its presentation to the BOE, members of the county council, the county executive and members of the legislature on...
Rich, My perception is that the recommendations were accepted very well. All findings were fact based, although the final report isn't quite finished yet. I...
But apparently nobody else was. The Unions hear the word outsource and they close down immediately without hearing the rest. The report wasn't saying to...
Folks- If you get a chance to communicate with the Board and can ask the same of others in your school - not on behalf of your CAC but as parents and PTA/PTO...
At todays BOE meeting, the members adopted their budget to forward to the county executive. Just a quick summary.... The superintendent's proposed budget was...
I was glad to see your report, Sam, about the Board's action in approving the budget with very few changes. Sorry about the TV coverage being cut, but I am...
If you have a chance, please look at the letter in today's Capital by C. Zisa of Annapolis. (I can't copy and paste it here because the Capital no longer posts...
Terra, Unfortunately, I think from the reaction I got at my local CAC meeting, the fight will come down to funding.... The only way I see to get concensus is...
Regardless of early time or late time for high schoolers, middle schoolers, or adorable little elementary schoolers, NOT ALL PARENTS WILL AGREE. The debate...
Please plan to attend the County-wide CAC meeting for February. This meeting is open to all members of the County-wide CAC as well as any interested members of...
I agree that not all parents will agree. But I disagree that the debate was ignited by "a few parents." Rather, it was "ignited" by countless OTHER school...
I think Rich is right. It was interesting listening to Winship Wheatley at the County CAC a few weeks back. He takes great pride in having trimmed bus costs...
Steve, as I recall the budget study committee showed our per pupil transportation expenses were quite low in comparison to Howard County's. Is this correct?...
The discussion re: high school starting times can be debated endlessly. But if it is at the cost of some schools getting out at 3:53 PM with a 45 minute ...

When we were forced to change from an 8:15 to a 9:15 start time 5 years ago there was no community input considered by county administrators. Many families...
Endless debate without resolution? Or substantive debate that might yield a resolution? The idea behind a one-time adjustment of ten minutes (now 13) was that...
I think one of the things that we're not taking into consideration here is what happens after school, i.e., sports, clubs, working, HOMEWORK etc. The high...
As part of a feeder system with an already late start, we don't support any time change, however minor. The debate can continue endlessly. I have seen the...

Peg--What I think you're missing, however, is that a considerable amount of scientific literature on circadian rhythms in adolescents shows that, for most...

I want to raise a concern about how we-all debate issues in this county. This concern comes from many places - the tone of letters that appear in the Capital,...
My HS student and others I have talked to would be thrilled to get 10 mins additional sleep. So many HS students feel this way that they drive instead of...

If you can point me to the research on how to "TRAIN" my children to get to bed at an earlier time, I would love to read it. I have seen the scientific ...
