Keep Current Palm Beach County School Times
Sign Now
The Palm Beach County School Board is thinking of changing the times for high schools and middle schools in the PBC area in the second semester of the 2004-2005 school year. High schools will begin at 9:00 AM and end at 4:20 PM. Middle schools will start at 7:30 AM and end at 2:05 PM. We think those times are extremely hard to deal with. What about homework? After school programs? Sports practice? Some high school students might not even get home until 6 or 7 at night! Also, many high school students would like to have part time jobs in the afternoons, and this would not be possible if we were not let out of school until 4:20. Students with doctors/orthodontists appointments would have to leave class early a lot more as well, since most offices close earlier in the day. Currently, high schools begin at 7:30 AM and ends at 2:50 PM. Middle schools begin at 9:00 AM and end at 3:30 PM. These times are flexible and fair. This way, everyone will have most of the afternoon free for other activities.
If you agree with us and wish for the school board to change their mind please sign this petition.
