In the spring of 2016, the School Start Times Advisory Committee (STAC) was formed to investigate the desirability and the feasibility of a later morning start time for Masconomet, to understand what the impacts may be for students in kindergarten through grade 12, their families, and the community, and to develop options for community discussion. The committee included members from the Masconomet School Committee, the Tri-Town school Committees, parents, and educators. The committee issued its final report in May 2017.
