CPS Changes Start Times For 82 Chicago Schools

In an effort to cut costs, bell schedules at 82 CPS schools are expected to change for the 2015-2016 school year — with some schools shifting schedules by as much as 45 minutes to an hour.

At the affected high schools, start times will shift to 9 a.m. and affected elementary schools, for the most part, will shift to an earlier start time of 7:30 or 7:45 a.m. The change is part of a "district-wide streamlining of transportation services that is expected to save CPS $13.5 million next year," CPS said in a statement Thursday.

The district also plans to cut at least 280 bus stops throughout the city, but they were not releasing a list of consolidated stops until "later this summer."
