Plain-language change summary

The changes to House File 392 authorize school districts and accredited nonpublic schools to maintain a year-round school calendar specifically for students in grades nine through twelve, expanding on current laws that only cover prekindergarten through grade eight. This update is important because it allows high school students the potential benefits of a continuous learning environment, which may help reduce summer learning loss and better prepare them for college or careers. Ultimately, this change is aimed at enhancing educational opportunities for older students.
