What’s in it

This bill modifies the earliest possible start date of the school calendar for school districts and accredited nonpublic schools. Current law provides that the school calendar for school districts and accredited nonpublic schools shall begin no sooner than August 23. The bill modifies this provision to provide that the school calendar shall, instead, begin no sooner than the first Tuesday following the final day of the Iowa state fair.
