Transportation woes force early start for some students
The article notes that some elementary students spend 8 percent of school hours waiting due to bus shortages, with delays before the first class and after the day ends. Staggered hours are proposed to reduce this waiting and better align transportation. It also mentions ongoing team teaching experiments at Middletown High and prereading guidance at North Market Elementary, plus rural teaching job challenges and praise for teachers adapting to students of average or lower ability.
