LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Clark County School District leaders are considering shifting all school start times forward 30 minutes beginning the 2026-27 school year, and they want community input before making the decision.
The district has launched a three-minute survey asking parents, students, staff and community members to weigh in on how the change could impact students' sleep, mental health and physical health. The survey remains open until October 17.
For families like Jayden Moore's, the change would be welcome. Moore's 14-year-old daughter is a freshman who must be in class before the 7 a.m. bell, requiring the family to wake up before sunrise each morning.
"They definitely would like a little later, everyone would like not to have to wake up so early just to go to school," Moore said.
