        256.20  YEAR AROUND SCHOOLS.
         Pursuant to section 279.10, subsection 1, relating to the
      maintenance of school during an entire year, the board of directors
      of a school district may request approval from the state board of
      education for a pilot project for a year around three semester school
      year.
         The application shall describe the anticipated additional costs to
      the school district and the benefits to be gained from the three
      semester school year.  Students would not be required to attend
      school more than two semesters each school year.
         Participation in a pilot project shall not modify provisions of a
      master contract negotiated between a school district and a certified
      bargaining unit pursuant to chapter 20 unless mutually agreed upon.
         If moneys are appropriated by the general assembly for funding the
      costs of pilot projects under this section, the state board of
      education shall notify the department of administrative services of
      the amounts to be paid to each school district with an approved pilot
      project.
