Remembering Bill Pasko A moment of silence was observed at Tuesday'sschool committee meeting for Bill Pasko, a science/technology and engineering teacher at Barnstable Middle School. His half-decade struggle with cancer ended Monday. "Bill went to school every day, whether in pain or ex- hausted," interim Supt. Tom McDonald said. "He was a shiningexample,atrue profes- sional, and a great friend." Jack McLeod , president of the Barnstable Teachers Association, said Pasko "was an incredible teacher. He was one of the people who made it aprofession. He would always gothe extra distance,no mat- ter what that distance was." In a note on the school's Web site, BMS Principal Rick Bidgood noted that Paskowas the first "national board certi- fied" teacher inthe Barnstable district.

Wake-up call on school start times Maybe-maybe -highschool- ers will be able to snooze or snack for 20 more minutes before stumbling out to the school bus in the pre-dawn gloom next school year. On Tuesday, the school committee got its requested report from transportation co- ordinator Sandy Gifford about the costs and complexities of switching from the three- tiered busing plan that has high schoolers starting class at 7:10 a.m., grades 5through 8 at 8 a.m., and the small fry at 9 a.m. Gifford'sfindings were that flipping high schoolers from the first to the second or third tier would carry significant additional transportation costs. Committee member David Lawler said he'd conducted a "little survey" to find out what difference a 20-minute delay would make. He said he asked one mother, "Is 20 minutes a big deal?" She replied , "Twenty minutes is breakfast." Tuesday'smeeting was held at Hyannis East Elementary School, and Rich Ewing of its school council spoke up for not mollycoddling high schoolers. "The older kids get, the more babied they get," he declared. "What will happen when they step into the real world?" The committee agreed to ponder possible changes and make a decision in the next month or so.
