Murrysville Republican Jill Cooper hopes her fellow state representatives in Harrisburg will back her proposal to set a mark for how early classes can start for secondary students.
Cooper’s plan would tell schools that they could not begin classes any earlier than 8:15 a.m. The mark would go into effect with the 2026 – 2027 school term. Cooper points to reports from the U.S. Department of Health’s Office of Disease Prevention and Health and the National Sleep Foundation addressing the effects of insufficient amounts of sleep on teenagers as the reasoning behind her proposal.
