Start & Dismissal Community Surveys
Anne Arundel County Public Schools solicited feedback on school start and dismissal times from the community through two surveys:
February 2016 Survey on Dr. Arlotto's Proposed Model
The AACPS School Start Times Task Force accepted public input and comments on the Dr. Arlotto's proposed 2017 School Start Time model in February 2016. Through this feedback, AACPS asked stakeholders to select one of the following based on the proposed start time model:
-
I SUPPORT THE PROPOSED CHANGE in schools start and dismissal times for the 2017-2018 school year as noted in the proposed model.
-
I DO NOT SUPPORT THE PROPOSED CHANGE in school start and dismissal times for the 2017-2018 school year as noted in the proposed model.
The Task Force accepted public input through February 14, 2016 and received 14,544 responses. To see the results of this Start & Dismissal Times Formal Survey, click here.
