STATE BUDGET INFORMATION

The language under which we have been operating, that required two six-hour days above the number in your 2005-06 calendar, is set to expire with the current budget on June 30, 2010. Since there is no budget for 2010-11 at the moment, we must plan for the statutory requirement for the minimum school term for 2010-11; that is, a 185-day school term and the equivalent of 175 six-hour instructional days (see KRS 158.070). This, of course, could change if the General Assembly meets prior to June 30 and adopts a budget with a different requirement. However, all versions of the budget that we saw during the 2010 session required only 185 days.
