Boston Fox 25 News 11/8/19: Parents oppose so-called ‘flip’ of elementary, high school start times. The issue of school start times is causing a heated and emotional debate in many Massachusetts communities. Elementary school students in Dover and Sherborn currently catch the bus between 7:30am and 8am to get them to school by 8:35am. Starting next fall, buses will pick up some elementary school children as early as 6:50am for a 7:50am start time.
