Anne Arundel County Council passes resolution urging Board of Education to postpone changing school start times

The Anne Arundel County Council approved a resolution Wednesday urging the Board of Education to hold off on changing school start times until after this coming school year. The school board has been working to change the start times for the developmental benefit of students for years, but implementation has faced delays due to COVID-19. The new start times are set to begin this upcoming school year. All high schools will start at 8:30 a.m., elementary schools will open at 8 a.m. and middle schools will open at 9:15 a.m.
