About this episode
St. Louis Public Schools is considering later start times for its students beginning in the 2027-28 school year in hopes of further stabilizing transportation and boosting attendance. The district announced its “Thrive Time” initiative in January. Scientific research backs up later school start times but the idea has received a mixed reception among parents. STLPR education reporter Hiba Ahmad and Erik Herzog, a biology professor at Washington University, discuss the idea.
