Bill > SB214

This bill amends the existing law to specify how instructional time is calculated for K-5 Plus and Extended Learning Time programs in New Mexico. The key provisions include: 1. Allowing Extended Learning Time programs to provide either 10 additional instructional days per school year or a minimum of 1,045 instructional hours for kindergarten through 6th grade or 1,140 instructional hours for 7th through 12th grades, whichever requires the fewest additional days. 2. Allowing K-5 Plus programs to provide either 25 additional instructional days per school year or a minimum of 1,128 instructional hours for kindergarten through 5th grade, whichever requires the fewest additional days. 3. Providing flexibility for school districts with four-day school weeks to meet the instructional day and hour requirements. 4. Allowing schools that qualified for these programs in the prior fiscal year to maintain the same or more total instructional days and hours in the current school year without adding more days. The bill aims to provide more flexibility in how instructional time is calculated for these extended learning programs while ensuring students receive the required minimum number of instructional hours.
