8)g. Approval of New School Bell Times
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Description:
Background
As a result of the CDD, two overarching goals were identified for a CDD Bell Time structure to support community and magnet schools.
Parent exit surveys demonstrate that experience with transportation had an impact on their decision to leave MPS. A key area of transportation services is on-time arrivals at schools and bus stops. The current bell time schedule is a cumulative design and has unintended impact to transportation service levels. By balancing schools’ start and end times and allowing adequate recovery time for buses, on time arrivals can be improved.
High school bell times will not change as a part of this proposal. |
