The bill requires that the instructional term for students begin no earlier than August 10 and end no later than June 10, except for schools operates on a balanced calendar. The bill removes preparation for opening and closing school from mandatory list of areas for which remaining noninstructional days may be designated by county school board. The bill designates one noninstructional day for teachers as a preparation day. The bill allows teacher preparation day to be used for other purposes only at teacher’s discretion.
