Philadelphia Inquirer: Later school start times could address ‘crisis’ of sleep-deprived teens
Citing a “public health crisis of epidemic proportions” regarding American adolescents not getting enough sleep, an advisory committee convened by Pennsylvania’s Joint State Government Commission has ample support from medical authorities for later school start times, particularly for high school students....
This school year, Radnor High School moved its 7:35 a.m. start time to 8:30 a.m. “We have received positive feedback from our high school students,” said district spokesperson Michael Petitti, adding that the district is “working to further educate our students and community on the importance of a good night’s sleep and related healthy sleep strategies.”
