St. Paul schools hits roadblock in bid to push back high school start times

The St. Paul School District’s hopes for pushing back start times at two more high schools next year were put in jeopardy Tuesday when it was revealed Metro Transit could not make it happen.

“I am very frustrated and very disappointed,” Board Member Jean O’Connell said.

She was led to believe by a former Metro Transit official, she said, that the plan was workable until the agency informed the district in mid-September that it lacked the bus storage capacity to transport more students.
