Community College | Each district school board, each community college district board of trustees, and each university board of trustees must adopt an annual calendar prior to the beginning of each fiscal year that will be observed by all schools or post high school educational institutions. This rule spells out objectives for the annual calendars, including: (a) minimal loss of time between student exit from one public institution and entry into another; b) opportunity for students to move through the educational system at their respective paces; c) opportunity for effective and efficient utilization of resources; and (e) opportunity for family activities. The rule also establishes starting times for common entry periods at community colleges and four-year institutions. Other specifications are mentioned as well.

| LA | Signed into law 11/2005 | P-12 | Waives minimum instructional time requirements in the 2005-2006 school year for any city, parish, or other local public school or district that cannot meet the minimum requirements due to school closure for reasons of natural catastrophe or disaster as certified by the state superintendent of education and approved by the state board, in accordance with state board rules. Requires any entity not able to meet the minimum instructional time requirements in the 2005-2006 school year to submit to the state superintendent of education documented information explaining the reasons why it cannot meet such requirements and any efforts made toward meeting the requirements and a revised school calendar for the 2005-2006 school year. Requires schools and school systems subject to such certification and approval to comply with the revised school calendar. Requires the waiver provisions to apply to an entire school system only if every school within the system is forced to close due to natural catastrophe or disaster.
Effective for the 2005-2006 school year, waives the provisions relative to the requirement that teachers work not less then one hundred eighty-two days per school year. However, authorizes the state board to adopt rules effective for the 2005-2006 school year relative to the minimum number of teacher work days.

It also requires the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to provide UIL a calendar of expected testing dates of testing three years in advance to allow sufficient time to negotiate contracts and prohibits schools from obtaining a waiver from TEA.

| WV | Signed into law 05/2005 | P-12 | Senate Bill 94 eliminates a requirement that activities on instructional support and enhancement (ISE) days be scheduled in a certain order. Before this bill passed, activities on ISE days had to designate two hours for instructional activities for students, two hours for a faculty senate meeting and the remainder of the day for other professional activities for teachers. Now the activities can be performed in any order. Additionally, the bill allows up to three days of accrued instructional time to be used for professional development.
