The School District of Palm Beach County is seeking public opinion on changes to school start times.
This comes after the passing of House Bill 7-33, which requires middle schools begin no earlier than 8 a.m., and high schools start no earlier than 8:30 a.m. The changes would take effect in the 2026-2027 school year.
The school district has mapped out three possible options for school start times. The public can also give their input by completing a survey on the district website.
The next community meeting is at 5:30 p.m. Thursday [09/19] at Palm Beach Gardens Community High School.
