Statute text

(a)Notwithstanding any other law, commencing with the 2025–26 school year, the Stony Creek Joint Unified School District may operate one or more schools on a four-day school week if it complies with the instructional time requirements specified in Section 46207, the other requirements of this chapter, and all of the following requirements:

(1)(A) The school district shall annually, by no later than June 1, submit to the department for review and approval, a plan for how the school district will ensure that the minimum instructional minutes required pursuant to Section 46207 will be met in the following school year. The plan shall include, but not be limited to, an annual school calendar with at least five additional days of instruction than is otherwise needed to meet the minimum instructional minute requirements pursuant to Section 46207 in the event that one or more of the schools in the school district is prevented from operating for any of the reasons described in Section 41422 or 46392. If the school district does not need some or all of the five additional days of instruction in order to meet the minimum instructional minute requirements in that school year, the school district shall only offer the extra instructional days to pupils as necessary to meet those requirements.

(B)If the school district offered less than the minimum instructional minutes required pursuant to Section 46207, the school district shall be subject to the penalties described in subdivision (b) of Section 46207 and subdivision (c) of Section 46208. Nothing in this section shall be construed to subject the school district, if it has met the minimum instructional minutes required pursuant to Section 46207, to those penalties.
