I doubt they have the option really. It's a catch 22. Schools start early so people can go to work.

It turns out that schools can indeed move start times. All it takes is a bus driver shortage - and lots of hand-wringing.

It's reasonable argument against late elementary start times but not later high school start times.

High school students are shown to have the greatest need of later sleep times while being the least in need of constant adult supervision.

Yet, they are forced up earliest.
