Multiple Texas public school districts are expanding their school years through the Additional Days School Year (ADSY) program, which allows districts to extend their calendars by up to 30 days beyond a 175-day minimum.
The ADSY program was established through House Bill (HB) 3 during the 86th Texas Legislature in 2019. During the 89th Legislature in 2025, HB 2 expanded grade level eligibility for ADSY, lowered the minimum calendar requirement, and introduced a pathway to access additional funding.
