Bill > HB4038

This bill amends Arizona law to establish that, beginning in the 2027-2028 school year, the first day of instruction for public schools cannot occur before September 1, unless otherwise authorized for year-round operations or specific instructional time models. The bill also clarifies that a school month is defined as twenty school days or four weeks of five days each, and it maintains existing provisions allowing school districts and charter schools to adopt various instructional time models, including remote learning up to forty percent of total instructional time without impacting funding, and outlines funding adjustments if this threshold is exceeded.
