School start times will not be returning to the school board agenda after a vote by the new board Wednesday night.
As previously reported, USD 383 Manhattan-Ogden last month voted to change school start times for the 2026-27 school year. The shift is intended to address a bus driver shortage and moves elementary start times more than an hour earlier to 7:30 a.m.
Members of the public — mostly elementary parents — have since protested the decision, saying it’s too early for young kids to wait on buses and that it will pose problems with childcare.
