Spanish term or phrase: Exoneración horaria
SPAIN. This appears in an article about teachers' reasons for applying for the post as school ICT coordinator. I know what exoneration is and "horaria" refers to the timetable or schedule. However, I can't decide on the best way to word it in a formal context (it's been a long day). All suggestions appreciated.

Notes to answerer
Asker: My only issue with this is why they didn't say "horario flexible" in the first place.

Explanation:
Me pregunto si podría ser como una descarga de horas, parecida al beneficio de *reducir dedicación docente* (que podría ser 'teaching/course load reduction'), pero en este caso de exoneración viene siendo una licencia o un tiempo libre para que uno pueda dedicarse a proyectos fuera del recinto escolar, como un año de sabático, que son comunes, pero ¿por menos tiempo?

exonerar
tr.-prnl. Aliviar, descargar de peso y obligación.

Explanation:
The difference with the US example is that it seems to be the parents of school children - rather than the teachers helping themselves to 'spares' - who are opting out of e.g. the curriculum.



Example sentence(s):
  • How To Opt Out — NYC OPT OUT If the school has large numbers of children opting out, the school day may proceed more or less normally, with the few children who are testing sent to a separate location
