MONTGOMERY COUNTY (WSLS 10) - After months of debates, meetings and surveys the Montgomery County school superintendent will recommend not changing school start times.

Instead his report being presented Tuesday night says there is an opportunity to shorten the bus routes enabling students to sleep longer.  Elementary students will still go to school at 9 a.m. and secondary students will still go to school around 7:45 a.m.

The superintendent says they have heard from many parents that childcare would be an issue for families if start times were later.  The school board will hear the final recommendation at Tuesday's meeting.
