Two Tennessee legislators are calling for Tennessee schools to push back start times.
State Senator Brenda Gilmore (D-Nashville-D19) and Representative John Ray Clemmons (D-Nashville-D55) are sponsoring SB1818/HB1836 in their respective chambers.
Under the bill, Tennessee public high schools would not begin instruction until 8:30 in the morning at the earliest. Public middle schools would not be able to begin instruction until 8 in the morning at the earliest.
If passed, the law would start with the 2023-2024 school year. Currently, some middle schools in the midstate start as early as 7:15 in the morning while many high schools start at 8 in the morning.
