Woodland Hills HS did NOT start at 6:45am last year. It started at 7:05ish and that was too early. If we want our children to do better on standardized testing, and to be prepared to learn, we should all be more upset that the school board has voted to once again start school earlier. Not sure how that saves money (although that is the reason) but maybe we should pay attention instead to study after study that recommend teenagers need more sleep, not less and would do better starting later. In Japan children start school at 9am....lets compare success in schools here and there.

Gail, I believe the arrival time by bus is different than the actual starting time for all these schools.
