Originally (like ten years ago) this was supposed to flip the start times, right? Elementary schools going earliest, with high schools starting late?
That would have been good. Older siblings could have helped with younger kids, then gotten themselves to school.
But no, that would make too much sense. Let’s just slide every start time back.
Starting elementary schools at 9:15 is a giant middle finger to working parents. This county loves to proudly wear “PROGRESSIVE” on their shirts while quietly screwing over anyone who’s not a country club member with a main nanny and a spare nanny on call.
Make sure you have child care for random Wednesdays and half Fridays, but that federal holiday you have off? Your kids will be going to school that day because we don’t agree with that holiday. We hope your child care budget can handle our principled stand.
Have “Dr.” Martirano and the BOE set aside money to pay for before care for parents who need to be at work by 9? Does this county want to actually be progressive or just keep wearing the T-shirts?
