Support HB 1462 Start School Later Task Force at Annapolis Hearing

We need you to act now so our Later School Start Task Force Bill, HB 1462 can pass a House vote.

More than 630 Maryland residents have contacted legislators regarding HB 1462.  But there is more work to do.

We need experts and professionals to TESTIFY on Friday, March 15th, at 2 PM in Annapolis at the Ways & Means Committee Hearing. We need House Bill 1462 to pass the Maryland House and move on to the Senate. If our bill passes, we will have a statewide task force to look at the sleep needs of children and adolescents and school start times.

  • Are you a pediatrician?
  • Are you a child advocate?
  • Are you a child/adolescent psychiatrist?
  • Are you a coach?
  • Are you a high school student?
  • Are you a parent of a sleep deprived teen?
  • Are you in educational policy?
  • Are you a neuroscientist?
  • Are you a teacher?
  • Are you a principal?

 

If you can testify for 2 minutes on Friday, March 15, 2013, please reply to: maribel@startschoollater.net
