VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — With a 10 to 1 vote, parents and students won't have to worry about changing their schedules next school year.
The Virginia Beach School Board voted to keep school start times the same.
Dottie Holtz was the only school board member who voted to change the school start times.
Virginia Beach City Public Schools considered shifting school start times for some months now and put out a survey in May.
More than 24,000 people responded, and more than 76% of respondents, which clocks in at more than 18,000 people, said they want start times to remain the same.
There are multiple options that give a range of new start and end times for elementary, middle and high schools.
