Section 1. Section nine hundred twenty-five of the Revised
Administrative Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
"Sec. 925. School Year and School Holidays. — The
school year for public and private schools shall consist of not less
than forty weeks. The opening date shall be fixed by the Secretary of
Education, but it shall not be earlier than the first day of June nor
later than the last day of July of each year: provided, however, that
for the school year 1964-1965, the school year calendar prescribed by
the Secretary of Education shall be observed; but for the school year
1965-1966, and thereafter, the opening date shall be within the period
fixed by this Act. The long school vacation period shall likewise be
fixed by the Secretary of Education, taking into consideration the
convenience of the pupils and their parents, and the special climatic
conditions prevailing during said period: provided, that the dates
established for the school vacation shall not be changed oftener than
once every five years without prior public hearing properly advertised
in newspapers of general circulation and/or announced by the local
authorities. Any order of the Secretary of Education changing the long
school vacation period may be appealed to the National Board of
Education by any school authority or parent or students and shall not
be enforced pending such appeal.
"In addition to the legal holidays, the Secretary of Education may
authorize the observance by the public and private schools of other
special school holidays to be designated by him."
Sec. 2. This Act shall take effect upon its
approval.
