New School Start Times for 2019-2020 School Year
The Volusia County School board voted to change school start times for next year.
These times will be effective in August 2019, for the start of the 2019-20 school year. The School Board developed this schedule by modifying the start time committee's option #1 after reviewing the results of the survey. Some options being considered are morning tutoring and offering more clubs for middle schools to help families transition to the later start time.
