What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a pilot program for the 2018-19 and 2019-20 school years

under which the school board of a school district located in the Cooperative

Educational Service Agency 6 region that received a rating of significantly exceeds

expectations or exceeds expectations on the most recent school and school district

accountability report may opt out of the requirement to provide a minimum number

of hours of direct pupil instruction at schools in the school district that received a

rating of significantly exceeds expectations or exceeds expectations on the most

recent school and school district accountability report. To participate in the pilot

program, the school board of an eligible school district must adopt an annual

resolution that indicates its intent to participate in the pilot program during that

school year and identifies the schools in the school district at which the school board

will not be required to schedule the minimum number of hours of direct pupil

instruction under the pilot program.

Current law requires each school board to 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.
