RIDGEFIELD—The school board has finalized a thirty-two member committee to oversee changing school start times for the 2018-19 school year. In May, the district hired the organization EdAdvance and decided to create a School Start Times Steering Committee to oversee the project, which the board will vote on in October. The new committee includes Superintendent Karen Baldwin, four Board of Education members, parents, school staff, representatives from the parks and recreation and police departments, a high school student and other members of the district.
