MARIN COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) -- Two school districts in Marin County may adjust school start times so students can get more sleep.

According to our media partner, The Marin Independent Journal, both Novato and San Rafael school districts are exploring the possibility of moving school start times to 8:30a.m.
