PLEASANTVILLE — The city’s Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution Tuesday night to push back school start times a week before students return to class.

The high school day will begin at 8 a.m. as opposed to 7:45 a.m. Middle school classes will commence at 8:30 a.m. instead of 8:05 a.m., while elementary school students will report at 8:55 a.m. rather than 8:50 a.m., Superintendent Marilyn Martinez said during the meeting.

Elementary students can be dropped off at 8:30 a.m. for free breakfast, Martinez said.

Classes will be dismissed at 2:50 p.m., 3:20 p.m. and 3:14 p.m. for the high, middle and elementary schools, respectively.

On early dismissal days, the high school will let out at 12:20 p.m., middle school at 12:50 p.m. and elementary schools at 1:15 p.m.
