MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Will a later school start time bring better outcomes for school students? One Nashville lawmaker thinks so.
Rep. John Clemmons filed a bill this week and said schools across the Volunteer State should return to an 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. school day.
The bill is aimed at ensuring academic success.
It calls for an 8:30 a.m. start for high schools and 8 a.m. for middle schoolers.
