AI Summary
This bill allows school districts, starting with the 2026-2027 school year, to request a waiver from the State Department of Education for the required minimum number of school days and instructional hours. To receive this waiver, a school district must submit a proposed schedule and explain how it best serves the students' needs and ensures accountability for student outcomes. The State Department of Education will grant the waiver for the following school year if it deems the district's proposal to be reasonable. The bill also includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
