State reports finds Jersey teens should start school later

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The state Department of Education released a report recommending New Jersey teenagers start school later in the morning, but also found start times should be set by local districts to avoid a logistical nightmare.

The Study Group on Later School Start Times was ordered by Gov. Chris Christie and other state lawmakers in 2015. Findings revealed 86 percent of schools in New Jersey start before 8:30 a.m., with the average start time at 8 a.m.
