Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits a school board from beginning the school term before
September 1, unless it holds a public hearing, and adopts a resolution, after June 30.
This bill allows a school board to begin the school term before September 1 if
it holds a public hearing and adopts a resolution between January 1 and May 15 of
an odd-numbered year. The resolution applies to the school term beginning in the
fall of that year and the school term beginning in the fall of the succeeding year. The
bill's provisions first apply to the school term beginning in the fall of 2003.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
