(6) A universal delay in school start times would be a cost-effective policy measure. (7) The Department of Education’s mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. 3. Study and report Not later than 18 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Education shall— (1) conduct a study, directly or through the award of a grant or contract, to examine the relationship between school start times and adolescent health, well-being, and performance that— (A) provides a comprehensive review of the scientific evidence relating to school start times and adolescent health, well-being, and performance; (B) compares adolescent health, well-being, and performance among local educational agencies with different school start times; and (C) evaluates factors that contribute to or affect school start times; and (2) submit to Congress a report that describes— (A) the findings of the study; and (B) any recommendations of the Secretary based on such findings. 4.
