SchCalFlex/Franklin/Open Cal

Introduced·3/4/25

Provides flexibility to Franklin County Schools in setting school calendar dates.

This bill allows Franklin County Schools to set their own opening and closing dates for the school year, with certain conditions. The local board may revise the scheduled closing date if necessary to comply with minimum instructional day requirements. The bill defines "good cause" as schools in the county being closed eight days per year due to severe weather, energy shortages, or emergencies in four out of the last 10 years. The act applies starting with the 2025-2006 school year.
