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
