Read the student essay excerpt below, then answer the question.
School is important, and everyone has memories of being a student. Teachers work hard, and students have a lot on their plates, from homework to sports to friendships. Education has changed over the years, but it still matters because it shapes the future.
A state legislature is considering a bill that would require high schools to start no earlier than 8:45 a.m. Supporters cite a state health department report showing that teens who sleep at least 8 hours have lower rates of depression symptoms and fewer absences. One district that shifted start times reported a 14% drop in first-period tardies but also faced higher transportation costs and conflicts with after-school jobs and athletics. The student writer argues the bill should pass because sleep is a public health issue and because academic performance improves when schedules match adolescent biology.
Which revision to the bolded introduction would best establish context for the argument?
