OTTAWA – Ottawa school officials have been eying a plan in which schools would start 90 minutes late one day a week. There would be some good advantages about the idea, Supt. Jeanne Stroh told school board members Monday night. Athletic and music practices could be done at the first of the school day, allow more professional time for teachers, and some studies show that adolesecents that sleep in and come to school later may benefit, she said. However, one of the biggest challenges of having school start at around 10 one day a week is busing students to school, she said.
