Superintendent outlines plan to respond to governor's executive order on class time
Summary
Superintendent briefed the board on a governor's executive order requiring districts to match 2024–25 class minutes; district staff will analyze schedule changes and present a plan at the June meeting.
Superintendent (speaker 3) told the board the governor’s recent executive order requires districts to provide the same amount of class time as the 2024–25 school year and that Division 22 regulations set hour marks per grade level. "Probably right now, the biggest item ... in the state is the governor's executive order regarding class time," the superintendent said, adding that the district is reviewing whether to add minutes to the school day or use other scheduling changes to comply.
The superintendent emphasized constraints from collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) and logistical impacts such as transportation. He said the district will aim to present a plan at the June board meeting and is analyzing whether small daily minute increases (for example, adding 10 minutes to the day) could meet required time without reopening CBAs. The board discussed trade-offs and transportation effects; no immediate policy changes were adopted at the meeting.
