Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill SB 409 removes a requirement for public schools in Oklahoma to extend the school year by an additional day, which was originally tied to specific funding increases for education. Instead, the revised version maintains the current requirement of 1,080 instructional hours and a minimum of 165 school days without adding the extra day based on funding conditions. This change simplifies the school calendar and might make planning for both schools and families a bit easier by reducing potential uncertainties regarding funding-based extensions.
