I think elementary school kids should start school early because there's health benefits behind it. Younger children tend to do better when they start school early.

There needs 2 be a 3rd option: ALL grade levels need to start their days AT THE SAME TIME. Regarding shared bus fleet: completely STOP providing yellow buses for 6th grade + older! Make Middle and High schoolers take TRANSIT if they need a bus. Schools should coordinate with + pay CET to add routes

It's been proven that teenagers function better and learn better when waking up a little later in the day. I myself was home schooled and I feel making my own schedule was SO beneficial! Still to this day, not a morning person.

I was excited when they moved elementary school start times earlier because that meant I was ABLE to get my child to the bus before I had to go to work. Before that, I had to get both before and after school care and that is expensive, also harder to find now.

Elementary kids safety is more important. It's dark until 8 am in the winter. Litttle kids waiting for the school bus and dark outside just don't mix.

Neither should start before 8:30. https://www.sleepfoundation.org/school-and-sleep/later-school-start-times

Split schedules cause logistics problems for families, the schools and transportation. Why would the school board make such a dumb decision? Common sense should be a prerequisite for being a school board member.

Another reason to home school your kids

Learn some self control and go to bed, you need more sleep plan you day so you get it. My 15 year old is always up around 5-6am by her own choice. Not to mention it helps parents if the older children are avalible to babysit earlier in the day.

All grades K-12 should start at the same time or close to for the sake of the parents.

Emily Di Spaltro

After-school care for young children is costly and many families don't have the means to afford such care. The cost of living in the area adds to families living in poor conditions causing a lot more health concerns for young families versus the benefit of starting an earlier school day.

Because then most of them are not awake at 9 or 8 am so that is my reasoning

Brittnee Gould

These kids are older easier to deal with in the mornings. Older kids can get themselves to school or the bus. Elementary kids need there parents. Single parents with more than one child need more time in the mornings!

I think if managed properly by the Super. The budgets are workable with fewer employees multi tasking and wearing more than one hat!Any buisness can benefit with improved efficiency!!

Is someone who lets their pet off-leash in restricted areas considered a 'bad pet owner?'

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Kati Magana

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
