Modifies provisions governing the minimum school term

HB 1828 updates the legal definitions and requirements for the minimum school term in public schools, directly affecting school districts and students. The bill establishes a minimum of 1,044 hours of actual pupil attendance per year, replacing previous mandates for a specific number of school days, while still requiring 168 days for districts in certain urban or charter areas unless they adopt a four-day week. It also clarifies terms like "school day" and "school year," allows for reduced attendance due to weather or facility damage for up to two years, and sets specific attendance hour requirements for kindergarten students.
