As a follow-up to the December school start time presentation by the Superintendent of Schools and Deputy Superintendent and at the request of the Board of Education, the Three Village Central School District has established a special School Start Time Committee. The members of this group represent stakeholders in the community, including parents, teachers, administrators and high school students.

In addition to examining the district’s current school start times, the new committee has been charged with discussing any feasible changes that may benefit students’ overall health and wellness. They will also examine both the positive and negative impacts that any proposed changes may bring. The committee’s work will not be limited to the options presented in December; rather, they will use those options as a preliminary springboard for future discussions.  

In addition to the work of the committee, the district will be conducting focus groups and sending out surveys to solicit feedback from the broader community. Please be assured that at this point, no decision has been made regarding school start times, nor is there a consensus on how to proceed in the future.        

The committee will be holding their first meeting in early February, and updates regarding their work will be shared on the district’s website under the new “Start Time Committee” tab located under the District dropdown menu. All residents are encouraged to visit this section often for updates.

The district’s selection into this contest was based on the tremendous fundraising efforts Ward Melville student-athletes did for the DezyStrong Foundation. This organization was created by Long Island native Matt DiStefano, who recently spoke with Ward Melville’s athletes and coaches about his struggles fighting cancer and his new outlook on life and decisions. The students worked to pay the mission of the organization forward as they embraced the “We Get To” mantra and raised money to support those affected by cancer.
