Administrators said the new schedule saves money and increases student achievement, especially for the younger ones because more time is spent learning.

The schedule changes were prompted by decreased funding from the state. Less money meant school administrations had to execute a cost reduction in the division's transportation, prompting a change in school and bus schedules.
