Many California teens who come from low-income and immigrant families have a difficult time getting a full night’s rest because of their obligations outside school.
A new bill headed to the California Assembly could allow these students and more than 2.7 million others statewide to get more rest every night. Senate bill 328, which the state Senate approved 25-13 in late May, would require all public middle and high schools in California to start no earlier than 8:30 a.m. in an effort to give preteens and teens more sleep.
