East Baton Rouge superintendent proposes new start times for certain schools
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Superintendent LaMont Cole is asking the East Baton Rouge school board to consider changing start and end times for six schools in the Capitol and Glen Oaks areas to help boost student well-being and improve transportation times. Cole outlined the proposed changes in a memo to the school board. He said the realignment would reduce the number of bus riders waiting in the early dark hours and support better sleep habits for teens. If approved, the new schedule will take effect in the 2025–2026 school year at the following schools: Melrose Elementary. Capitol Elementary. Capitol High. Merrydale Elementary. Glen Oaks Park Elementary. Glen Oaks High. Under the proposed plan, elementary schools would run from 8:00 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., and secondary schools would shift from 8:50 a.m. to 4:05 p.m. The change would standardize the length of the school day to 435 minutes for both levels, according to the memo. Currently, secondary schools start as early as 7:10 a.m., which is earlier than the state's already early average of 7:45 a.m. The memo said Louisiana is one of only four states that start secondary schools this early. According to Cole, the later times are expected to lead to: Reduced risks of obesity, diabetes, and car accidents. Fewer mental health concerns, like anxiety and depression. Improved attendance, focus, and academic outcomes. To measure the success of the change, the district will monitor attendance data, disciplinary records, academic performance and routing and transport times. The change is part of a broader realignment plan and will not affect all schools. Only the six named schools in the Capitol and Glen Oaks areas will see schedule changes. Staff schedules will also be adjusted accordingly. Principals will have flexibility in setting start and end times for staff as long as they meet district workday requirements. The school board meets at 5 p.m. on Wednesday. For more information or to review the full plan, visit the East Baton Rouge Parish School System website.
