As school years shrink, state lawmakers seek return to minimum of 180 days
"Take note, K-12 students, as you embrace the start of summer vacation: People in high places think the school year is not long enough. At least, not anymore.
Michigan used to require at least 180 days of school annually. The Legislature dropped that six years ago so districts could have flexibility to manage operating costs while achieving the minimum required number of hours, 1,098. The result is that most districts have swapped longer school days for shorter school years."
