Governor's Veto Message
To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 328 without my signature.
This bill would prohibit middle and high schools from starting earlier than 8:30 in the morning, unless in a rural area.
This is a one-size-fits-all approach that is opposed by teachers and school boards. Several schools have already moved to later start times. Others prefer beginning the school day earlier. These are the types of decisions best handled in the local community.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
