Okay, you do understand what I’m trying to say, so what am I supposed to respond? Tell me what your calculations for the school day year-round would best be in Washington State, and Maine.

The existing standard times already work? For Seattle on PST that puts sunrise at 7:54AM and sunset at 4:20PM in Seattle during winter solstice. Which gives almost an hour of sunlight on either side for a standard school day of 9-3:30.

For Bangor on it's 7:06AM and 4:03PM. It'd work better for an 8:30-3:00 school schedule. But for a 9-3:30 they'd unsurprisingly be better off on Atlantic Standard Time.
