Parents and teachers voice concerns over proposed schedule changes at Naperville D203 school board meeting
Parents and teachers in Naperville District 203 expressed concerns at a school board meeting about proposed changes to the school schedule for the 2025-26 year. They feel the district is moving too quickly with plans to adjust start and end times and implement a block schedule. The proposed changes include starting elementary school at 7:45 a.m. and shifting middle school hours later by 50 minutes. Many parents and teachers worry these changes will disrupt routines and affect childcare and extracurricular activities. A recent survey showed low support among teachers for the new schedule. School board members decided not to vote on the proposals this month and will continue discussions on February 18. Some members suggested phasing in changes rather than implementing them all at once.
