Optional Flexible Year Program (OFYP), revise program criteria, including the addition to require proposed OFYP instructional time to be scheduled before the last approved student
assessment testing window of the school year, and the rules update the approval process, including the requirement that a school submit its instructional calendar that indicates the
days and minutes scheduled as OFYP instructional
days.
