SB 859 - Current law requires that public school terms start
no earlier than September first unless: the school is in session
twelve months each year or the school board determines students
are needed for agricultural production. This act allows a school
starting date prior to September firs, for any district which
schedules a term longer than the minimum of one hundred seventy-
four days and one thousand forty-four hours.
