After the Republican Senator of Fleming Island Feedback from local school authorities, Jennifer Bradley, heard, he would like to lift the rule. She has an invoice to return the start times in the counties.

“Each district has different geographical needs, different street patterns, their school plan is a kind of rhythm of the community. And no district, no two counties are exactly the same, ”she said.
