Under the plan, all high schools would start at 7:20 a.m. Elementary school students would report to class at 8:20 a.m. Middle school students would begin the day at 9:20 a.m. 

District officials say the new start times will save millions of dollars in bussing costs.

Critics, however, argue the change will have a big impact on working families. 

The new start times are expected to begin at the start of the next school year in August.
