BUFFALO, N.Y. — Teachers in Buffalo have voted against a plan to adjust school start and end times.
Right now classes start at 8 or 9 a.m. The plan had three different start times ranging from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m.
The school board says it would help ease bus traffic.
But of the 2,100 teachers who voted, 84% said they did not support changing the times.
2 On Your Side has reached out to buffalo public schools about the vote, but haven't heard back.
The proposal could have freed up 50 to 100 busses, according to the school board.
The later start times would have also pushed back when teachers would end working. Under their current contract, the Buffalo Teachers Federation teachers are not to end work past 4:05 p.m.
