Summary

The measure requires school districts and intermediate districts to certify enrollment and attendance data by strict deadlines, and it withholds state aid until they comply. It also keeps the 1,098‑hour, 180‑day instruction minimum but lets districts add days for inclement weather without losing aid, provided attendance thresholds are met. The changes aim to improve data accuracy and give flexibility when weather disrupts school calendars.
