(b) To allow parents to determine whether a school’s program is appropriate for their child(ren), the Education Corporation shall in each year of the charter term determine the days and hours of operation of each school for the next school year by February 1 of the then current school year and shall make such information readily available to parents seeking to enroll their child(ren) in or return their child(ren) to each school and provide a copy of such material to the Trustees in a manner that will allow them to post such information on the website of the Institute. The Education Corporation shall not thereafter for the next school year make any material changes to the days and hours of operation of any school from those determined on each February 1st date that have the effect of shortening the number of days of instruction or hours in which such instruction is provided without obtaining the prior written permission of the Trustees, it being understood that such permission shall not be forthcoming except for good cause shown. (c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, in the first school year in which a school provides instruction, the days and hours of operation shall be those set forth in the school’s charter application in the Terms of Operation, except that the Education Corporation shall have the discretion, and without seeking permission of the Trustees, to (i) provide ten (10) fewer days of instruction than the amount set forth in the Terms of Operation for such school and (ii) lengthen the school day and school year for such school as it deems necessary and appropriate so long as the Education Corporation provides timely notice to parents of such changes.
