Fiscal Note
Easing of mandated requirement - alignment of calendar days
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Current law requires that there be no more than 5 instructional days in which one or more of the school calendars of school administrative units (SAU's) affiliated with a career and technical education (CTE) center or within a CTE region are not aligned with the regional school calendar.  This legislation eases that mandated requirement, possibly reducing related planning and coordinating costs to SAU's, by increasing the number of days that calendars of the SAU's need not be aligned with their affiliated CTE center or CTE region and with the regional school calendar from no more than 5 days to no more than 7 days, depending on the number of schools sending students to a CTE school.
