Resolution urging schools to consider later start times on its way to the Governor

A resolution urging school districts, charter schools and school community councils to consider starting high school no earlier than 8:30 a.m. is on its way to Governor’s office for signing.

The Utah Senate voted 22-1-6 Friday to approve the resolution HCR003.

Since HCR003 is a resolution and not a bill, it will not mandate any policy changes, but State representative Suzanne Harrison hopes it will bring the conversation around high school start times to the forefront for districts across the state.
