14	13		employed under a 10-month contract must provide a minimum of 187
15	14		days of service.
16	15		(c-1) If a school district anticipates providing less than
17	16		180 days of instruction for students during a school year, as
18	17		indicated by the district's academic calendar, the district may
19	18		reduce the number of days of service required by this section

23	22		this Act, applies only to a contract executed on or after the

25	24		effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the
26	25		date the contract was executed, and the former law is continued in
27	26		effect for that purpose.
28	27		SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
