The underlined phrase in the sentence seems to refer to a list of people involved in supporting the change in a school's start time. The best word or phrase to replace the underlined section in this context is "including."

This is because "including" effectively introduces the examples (parents, teachers, students, etc.) without suggesting causation or addition in the way that "as well as" or "because of" would.

So, the correct response is:

including
