What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, school is required to be held for at least 180 days during the school term (the time beginning with the first school day and ending with the last school day that the schools are in operation for the attendance of pupils in a school year). In addition, each school board must schedule at least 437 hours of direct pupil instruction in kindergarten, at least 1,050 hours of direct pupil instruction in grades 1 to 6, and at least 1,137 hours of direct pupil instruction in grades 7 to 12. This bill retains the requirement that school be held for these minimum required hours of instruction but eliminates the requirement that school be held for at least 180 days.
