Keep CCSD School Start Times

Recent signers:

The Issue

Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, CCSD schools start times have changed to the following:

Middle Schools: 7:30 a.m.

High Schools: 8:30 a.m.

Elementary Schools: 9:15 a.m.

While it may seem like a good idea to "let kids get more sleep,"  we think the opposite.  Pushing back school start times will result in after school activities running later than before. Keeping High School start times at 7:30 will let high schoolers enjoy more free time out of school.

The Decision Makers

Responded
“Hello, As a trustee, I was able to give input on this decision, but the superintendent is the decision maker, as it is an operational matter. The trustees did not vote on the new school start times. Many of the concerns that you are raising are the same ones that I inquired about at our board meeting, as the option chosen was not my first choice. Supt. Ebert’s email is ebertj@nv.ccsd.net I hope this helps. Best regards, Linda P. Cavazos, District G CCSD Board of Trustees”
