The Assembly unanimously approved Senate Bill 589 this afternoon, which repeals the requirement that school be held for 180
days each school term but does not change the minimum number of hours of direct
instruction required. This change would allow schools to increase the length of
their school days and shorter their school years. It also allows districts to
receive state aid for online courses taken by high school or seventh and eighth
grade pupils.
SB 589 was passed by the full Senate on March 11 and will
now be sent to the Governor for his signature.
