Requires certain public schools that receive State aid to begin regular instruction for high school students no earlier than 8:30 A.M.

This bill would require public schools receiving state aid to begin regular high school instruction (grades 9-12) no earlier than 8:30 a.m. It directly affects school districts, charter schools, and specialized school districts that receive state funding. The requirement aligns with medical recommendations for adolescent sleep needs and applies starting the 2024-2025 school year. Exceptions exist for students with individualized education plans under federal law.
