What’s in it

This bill modifies the earliest possible start date of the school calendar for school districts and accredited nonpublic schools during the upcoming school year. 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, for purposes of the school year beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2026, to provide that the school calendar shall instead begin no sooner than August 20.
