Metro Nashville Public Schools are starting the new year with changes to their schedule. The school day will now begin at a later time for students at every level. This adjustment is expected to have an impact on student attendance, learning, and traffic in school zones.

Metro Nashville Police will be present in school zones on the first morning of the new schedule. The changes to start times were part of an initiative by Mayor Freddie O'Connell. Further details about the new start times and their effects are available from Metro Nashville Public Schools and local news sources.
