Share Your Voice: School Start Time Survey Now Open

Boise School District invites families, students, staff and community members to share feedback on proposed school schedule changes beginning in the 2027–2028 school year.

Under the proposal, secondary students would start and end school later, while elementary students would start and end earlier. We recognize that these changes could affect families in different ways, and your perspective matters.

The School Start Time Survey includes current and proposed schedules, background information, and potential benefits and challenges. Please review these details before sharing whether you support the proposal.

The online survey closes at 5 p.m. Mountain Time on December 4, 2026.

Results will be shared with the Board of Trustees during its December or January meeting and will help inform its final decision. No final decision has been made.

Thank you for helping the Board consider the needs of our students, families and community.
