Establishes a mandated monthly half day for students to allow for school staff planning time.

This bill amends the school calendar to establish a mandatory half day on one Friday every month during the school year for students. This half day is intended to provide school staff with time for instructional planning, strictly designated for in-class planning and not for administration or county board meetings or training. The bill specifies that only individual or team teacher planning may occur during this half day. The purpose is to ensure that teachers have dedicated time to improve instruction and curriculum development.
