AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

For high school grades 9 through 12 that use an attendance-validated program — meaning students attend scheduled in-person or virtual classes with direct teacher instruction — this bill replaces the current requirement to meet a minimum number of school days or instructional hours with a credit-based requirement, where each credit represents at least 83 class hours. The bill also allows elementary, middle, and junior high schools flexibility to adjust their schedules to align with high school calendars under this new framework. High school students and their families may experience changes to how their school year is structured, as districts shift from counting days to counting credit hours as the measure of required instruction.
