The East Penn School District recently formed a task force to study the important issues surrounding secondary school start times in our district. The task force, comprised of administration, faculty, staff, parents, students, and community members, met in spring 2019 to review research on adolescent sleep. In addition, East Penn faculty, staff, parents, and students were surveyed to elicit pertinent feedback from stakeholders regarding students’ current sleep habits.
The task force will continue to work throughout the 2019-2020 school year to investigate the feasibility of adjusting secondary school start times in East Penn.
