Bell Times Survey

This survey addresses concerns about current school bell times, particularly regarding early start times for high and middle schools. Feedback regarding lack of sleep, safety during dark winter months, and student performance is being collected. The St. Louis Public Schools (SLPS) operates on a 3-tier system for transportation efficiency, but adjusting to a 2-tier system could cost an additional $8-$10 million. Responses from stakeholders are due by May 18 via the website, voicemail, or returned form to the school, as their insights are crucial for developing a new schedule.
