The Colonial Heights School Board voted to shift elementary school bell times by 10 minutes for the 2024–25 school year.
Administration told the board that late bus arrivals stem from increased in‑city traffic and higher middle‑ and high‑school ridership that pushes routing later into elementary pickups. The proposed change moves elementary start time to 8:35 a.m. with dismissal at 3:15 p.m., leaving middle and high school times unchanged. The presenter said the change would give staff and families time to adjust schedules and that parents would be notified if approved.
The board moved and seconded the proposal and approved it by roll call.
