Amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), entitled "An act relating to the public school system, including certain provisions applicable as well to private and parochial schools; amending, revising, consolidating and changing the laws relating thereto," in terms and courses of study, further providing for days schools not to be kept open and for additional holidays and vacations.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to change the list of holidays when schools are not required to be kept open. Specifically, it moves Christmas from the list of holidays that are not official school holidays to the list of official local school district holidays that can be designated by the board of school directors. The bill also removes the requirement for schools to observe Veterans' Day with special exercises, and allows school boards to cancel any designated local holiday in the event of a weather emergency or natural disaster.
