Newfoundland and Labrador’s transport minister says changing school start times would save between $5 million to 6 million per year, as the province looks for feedback on the newly-proposed schedules.
Last week NL Schools sent out a survey to families, asking about changing the start and end times for dozens of schools in the province. Some start times could change by up to an hour, starting in September 2027.
Transportation Minister Barry Petten said the new schedules would require fewer buses as it would use a “double run” system. Older students would have later start times, he said, as studies show benefits for the age range.
