In Western New York, at a district outside of Buffalo, there are some talk taking place that are discussing the possible change. According to reports,Williamsville Central School District is looking to change its start times.
The district is looking in to the research that a later start time may actually be healthy for students as more sleep may help them.
According to the report from the Buffalo News, new times would go into effect in September of 2025.
