2022-23 8:30 AM Start Time
In 2019, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 328 into law. Under the law, introduced by State Sen. Anthony Portantino, California’s high schools can start classes no earlier than 8:30 a.m. The guidelines go into effect in the 2022-23 school year for most districts, including ours.
In our school district, this law will affect school start times and bell schedules for our high school students beginning next school year. All of our high schools will begin their school day at 8:30 a.m.
The purpose of the legislation is to address adolescent sleep deprivation and its associated health risks, while creating conditions more conducive to academic success. As the next school year approaches, all families will receive a summer mailer that will include the bell schedule from their student’s school. In the meantime, we wanted to provide you with advance notice so that you are aware well ahead of the start of the 2022-23 school year, which starts Aug. 15th for students.
