LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law states the intent of the Legislature to authorize public school districts to establish, maintain, and operate their educational program under a continuous school program, to be conducted throughout the entire school year.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that statement of legislative intent.
