Washington County School District School Start Times Survey –
We Need Your Input!
The Washington County School District is recommending that school start times for the 2026-2027 school year remain the same (Option A).
Florida law now gives our School Board the flexibility to decide what works best for our community. We’re asking parents, guardians, teachers, staff, and community members to share your thoughts through a short survey.
Options:
Option A: Keep current bell times
Option B: Move start times to no sooner than 8:30 AM (this would also change dismissal times for all schools)
We’ve considered impacts on transportation, before/after-school care, extracurricular activities, and other areas. Your feedback will be shared with the School Board and included in our report to the Florida Department of Education.
Please take the survey and let us know your thoughts:
Thank you for helping us make the best decision for our students and community!
