Check details of CMS school time survey

People who care about Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools bell schedules care a lot,  and there's a lot to read in the results of surveys of 11,000 parents,  5,000 parents and 2,000 students.

The School Time Task Force that generated the surveys voted Monday to shorten the elementary day and move back the controversial late bell schedule,  undoing changes that were launched during the recession to save money on busing.  The report will go to Superintendent Heath Morrison;  presumably any changes with significant costs would have to be worked into the 2015-16 budget plan.

Susan Plaza,  one of the parents on the task force,  says CMS opted not to send a press release summarizing the survey results.  The online reports,  prepared by the K12 Insight consulting group,  present the raw data in an number of formats and groupings.
