In my hometown, all schools started at the same time but where I live now, the lower grades start earlier than the upper grades. Reuse of the same buses might be part of the reason but at least here, the bigger issue is being able to have the same bus driver run multiple routes. The district probably could afford more buses but every year they have more difficulty in finding enough drivers.
- duffyjp 3y agoThis is how it works in my town. My elementary school kids start at 7:20, but I checked their future high school and they start at 8:15. Logistically it makes sense-- high school kids can get themselves to school even if their parents have already left for work. Sucks for little kids though. My five year old has to be in bed by 7:00pm and even then waking him up is a chore. He sleeps until 8:00 or 8:30 if left undisturbed on weekends.
