Marietta schools considering later start times
Community input is being sought on allowing students to begin their Marietta school days 30 to 40 minutes later each day but ending at the same time.
Question-and-answer sessions are planned for 6:30 p.m. today and March 23 at the Marietta Performing Arts Center, 1171 Whitlock Ave., Marietta.
Marietta High School students would start their days at 8 a.m. instead of the present 7:20 a.m.
For Marietta Middle School students, the start time would be 7:50 a.m. instead of 7:15 a.m.
Start times would be 9:30 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. at Marietta Sixth Grade Academy and Marietta Center for Advanced Academics.
Elementary school students would begin their days at 8:45 a.m. instead of 8:15 a.m.
The Performance Learning Center would start at 8:30 a.m. instead of 8 a.m.
Feedback will be received until March 25 from an online survey at ga-marietta.myfollett.com with paper copies of the survey available in each school’s front office.
Comments may be sent to each school’s School Governance Team at marietta-city.org/Page/2325.
