District Could Eliminate Some Bus Routes, Start Schools Earlier

Wichita school board members are trying to slash $16 million to $30 million from next year’s budget, and one plan involves moving up school start times and eliminating some bus routes to save money on transportation, reported the Wichita Eagle.

Students may have to wake up earlier and walk more next school year, as officials consider shifting start times at some secondary schools from 8 a.m. to 7 a.m. It was unclear last week which schools would start earlier.
