The Corpus Christi Independent School District is proposing changes to its bell schedule for some middle and elementary schools next school year, and some parents are pushing back.
The district is looking into beginning and ending all middle schools — except for Metro P — 30 minutes early. The day would begin at 8:20 in the morning and end at 3:40 p.m.
Additionally, CCISD wants to make a 20-minute adjustment to three elementary schools: ECDC, Metro E, and Windsor Park. Those school days would begin at 7:30 in the morning and end at 2:50 p.m. The district cited bus driver shortages as the reason for the proposed changes.
