What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, public schools are prohibited from starting fall classes until

September 1. However, current law allows the Department of Public Instruction to

grant a school board request for an exception to this prohibition if DPI determines

there are extraordinary reasons for granting the request.

Beginning with the 2022-23 school term, this bill eliminates the prohibition

against public schools starting fall classes before September 1.
