TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A invoice was filed Friday to undo the requirement for Florida college districts to vary their begin occasions, which was set to take impact in 2026.
In 2023, Florida state legislators modified the regulation to require college districts to reschedule the start and finish of college days for center and highschool college students in constitution and public colleges.
The modifications required center college lessons to begin after 8 a.m. and highschool lessons after 8:30 a.m., had been set to take impact by July 2026.
Sen. Jennifer Bradley, R-District 6, launched Senate Invoice 296 to reverse the brand new insurance policies, releasing college boards from having to stick to the repair occasions proposed within the earlier invoice.
Nevertheless, the requirement to have colleges open no sooner than Aug. 10 stays in place.
If handed and signed into regulation, it could take impact July 1, 2025.
