Boston Public Schools Superintendent Tommy Chang emailed a letter to parents yesterday touting positive feedback from high school communities, while acknowledging the fierce pushback from elementary school parents.
Notably, the letter gives no assurance that BPS is willing to budge from the 7:15 a.m. start times many elementary parents say would force them to wake kindergarteners up at or before 6 a.m. Apparently the more than 6,700 parents who signed a petition have not made a dent in Chang’s resolve to push forward with the plan.
