Leander ISD and EANES ISD On Jan. 4, five extra minutes were added to Eanes ISD and Leander ISD school days as a result of House Bill 2610, which was passed in the last legislative session.
HB 2610 requires all public school students to receive 75,600 minutes of instruction—instead of the 180 days that were previously required.
