Are school start times all wrong? Teenagers are going to be late, having trouble getting up early.  While learning from home, school start times were adjusted to better suit their needs. 

Staggered bus prevent the most ideal schedule for all students, so compromises will have to be made. 

Would you like to see a change to Prince William County Schools start times? Does this affect you as a parent, students, teacher, bus driver, coach or other employee? Maybe this affects your business  if you specialize in before and after school programs.

PWCS will present three alternate bell schedule options before the school board on June 16. Even if they won't be voted upon immediately; the school division is beginning to explore new options.
