The techlogical change here wasn’t iterative, it was an immediate Big Bang shock to the existing system. I’m surprised the school board even proposed it after seeing it. It sounds like they completely ignored their own knowledge of political realities and tried to rely on saying “the machine told us so” would insulate them from criticism. My mom spent a little time on this issue (bus schedules) in high school. Our district officials were extremely aware of the pushback they would get to almost any significant change in busing and school start times, no matter what direction. People don’t like their cheese moved.
