STUDY	What needs to be improved and what specific outcome needs to occur? I-SS must comply with HB 1151- Planning Time and Duty Free Lunch for Teachers.I-SS needs more student instruction time in the school day.
	What is the current condition and data that supports the need for improvement? Most elementary and high schools have less than 7 hours in the instructional day. Some elementary students and EC students are boarding buses before 6:00 a.m. Teacher assistants are missing class time to drive buses for middle and high school routes. Traffic congestion in the mornings is impacting bus travel and arrival times in the southern end of the county. High school vocational programs currently at SHS require students from feeder schools to miss class time from classes on their home campus so they can drive to Statesville. This issue will become critical as these programs expand at Dana. Elementary teachers do not have adequate planning time nor duty free lunches. High schools need additional time for the focused curriculum in Freshman Academy. High schools/ Middle schools must have adequate time at the end of the school day for athletic practices/events (travel time).
	Who are the direct customers of the improvement and how will this benefit them? Students and parents – customer satisfaction/safety. Teachers and administrators – charged with meeting instructional goals. Prime Time and day care providers – may increase or decrease the need for these services. The community – impact on traffic.

	Strategy--- What is the general approach to achieving the outcome? Convene a PDSA team to review current school start times and look at the feasibility of restructuring our schools’ schedules. What resources may be needed and who else will be involved? There are no additional resources available to expand transportation services.Adjusting start times will impact students/families, staff, day care providers, Prime Time, Child Nutrition, the community, and driving public.Elementary schools may require 12 certified positions and 8 classified positions.Middle schools may require 7 classified positions. When and how will the improvement be evaluated for results? See the actions steps listed below.
