They purposefully sent this to die because they picked a nonsensical schedule. They needed to have high schoolers go in the latest and elementary schoolers get in the earliest. High schoolers can get themselves to school largely, but working parents getting little kids to school at 9:20 was untenable on the face of it. They needed to push start times back and hour and have high schoolers go in the latest. They could even move most practices to early if necessary.

I live in LM. There was no schedule that would make anyone happy, but they also had two big constraints: start times for each school segment need to be 40+ minutes apart for the buses to stay on time, and the stupid "lights at LM HS field" battle that's been going on for years now.

Where I grew up, elementary school started at like 7 and middle/high school at 8:20. Elementary got out at 2:30 and middle/high at 3:25
