Bill Summary
Provide That A Local School District Board Of Trustees May Waive The Requirement That Public Schools Make Up Full Days Missed Due To Inclement Weather For Up To An Additional Seven Days Provided That The Full Days Of Missed School Were Associated With Hurricane Helene.
AI Summary
This joint resolution provides a temporary exemption for local school district boards of trustees in South Carolina regarding school day makeup requirements related to Hurricane Helene during the 2024-2025 school year. Specifically, the resolution allows school district boards to waive up to seven additional days of school that were missed due to the hurricane, beyond the existing provisions in state law for makeup days. If a district chooses to waive these makeup days, the waiver will also apply to charter schools and home schooling programs within that district. The resolution will take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval, providing flexibility for school districts impacted by the hurricane to address lost instructional time without requiring a full makeup of those missed days.
