Lewisville ISD will swap the start times for high school and middle school and extend the school day by 10 minutes for all grade levels starting with the 2026-27 school year, following approval at a Jan. 12 board meeting. The board approved the time change by a 5-2 vote, with trustees Allison Lassahn and Sheila Taylor opposed, and the 10-minute extension unanimously.
The impact
In the 2025-26 school year, high school classes start before middle school. For 2026-27, middle school classes will start before high school. A Jan. 6 report from Superintendent Lori Rapp states:
- All elementary schools will start class at 7:40 a.m. and end at 3:05 p.m.
- Middle school will start at 8:15 a.m. and end at 3:40 p.m.
- High school will start at 8:50 a.m. and end at 4:15 p.m.
