Texas HB1209 amends Education Code to adjust minimum instructional days and minutes for public schools.

Texas HB1209 amends the Education Code to adjust the minimum number of instructional days and minutes for public schools. It allows school districts that adopted a four-day school week schedule for the 2024-2025 school year to maintain this schedule in subsequent years. However, if a district's campuses receive a performance rating of D, F, or "Not Rated," the district must adopt and maintain a five-day school week until all campuses achieve a C rating or higher. The commissioner can approve fewer instructional days or minutes if caused by disasters or extreme weather.
