What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Department of Public Instruction to count hours of direct
pupil instruction that are canceled because school is closed due to an emergency or
inclement weather if the school district was in one of the top two performance
categories on the most recent school and school district accountability report
(commonly known as the state report card). In other words, under the bill, a school
district that was in one of the top two categories on the state report card is not
required to make up hours of direct pupil instruction that were missed because
schools were closed due to an emergency or inclement weather
