It isn't easy and is sometimes inconvenient but those reasons don't outweigh a large body of evidence that it will be better for our kids health

Teens don't wake up early but younger kids do so why not work with that?

There is NO childcare in Bend for elementary school age children available for working parents. Getting kids up at 6am is impossible. This is not safe.

I am a junior at summit and I am a morning person and starting school at a later time will not only mess up my day but my after school also with work and doctors appointments and sports .

Tamara Henry

They should all start at 9am it hard on working parents. Also younger kids still need lots of sleep

To allow people to protect livestock and pets. Also working with wolves in Idaho, the conservationists that was speaking on the news didn’t tell the whole truth. Do the research, in Idaho since 2000 we have had problems with them going on killing sprees and not eating what they kill. It’s not rare.

Steven Huillet

Wolves are killing machines. Destroying deer and elk populations, and now destroying ranchers livestock. They should have never been brought back to Oregon.

Look at Yellowstone. Once reintroduced the habitat recovered from over grazing. God has a plan.

Jean Bartholomew

Wolf 158 was an outlier. ATYPICAL behavior, which you noted very briefly. Usually easy known deterrence or relocation methods work!! There is no need for a killing spree of these beautiful wild animals.

Allison Boyce

Farmers need to take other action, using horse patrol, 4 x 4 patrol, more employees. You can’t just kill everything that gets in your way.

They’ve been re-introduced after having been absent from the ecosystem for a very long time.

Just the same usual amount. It's not much of a problem at Discovery Park, tho. Owners seem to have good control of their dogs.

Jeff Sanders

Leash kids. They're worse than dogs.
