Proposed School Start Time Changes
Message from Ilryong Moon
Dear FCPS Families,
At the November 10 School Board Work Session, the Board discussed proposed adjustments to school start times. The presentation included staff recommendations, the research and data behind the proposals, and the operational considerations involved in making potential changes.
Research has shown that school start times can have a significant impact on students’ sleep, health, well-being, and academic performance, particularly for adolescents. At the same time, changes to school schedules affect more than the school day. They can impact family routines, childcare arrangements, high school athletics, staff schedules, transportation, and other logistical considerations across FCPS.
As your School Board Member At-Large, I want to hear directly from families about how current school schedules affect your household and how the proposed changes might impact your daily routines.
I invite you to review the presentation materials and complete my office’s community survey. Your feedback will help me better understand the priorities, concerns, and perspectives of the families I represent.
Please submit your feedback by November 30, 2026.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Your input is important as we consider how to balance student well-being with the practical needs of our school communities.
Best,
Ilryong Moon
School Board Member, At-Large
Fairfax County Public Schools
