The District has determined that they will save over $200,000 in the transportation budget by standardizing the start and end times of all of the District schools. This means that the elementary schools that have started at 9:10 AM and ended at 3:40 PM will change by ten minutes beginning next school year. Madrona K-8 will start at 9:20 AM and end school at 3:50 PM beginning next fall.See the District Newsletter for adjusted start times for all schools.
