Bill > H3949

This bill amends an existing law about public employee strikes, specifically focusing on teacher strikes, by adding new requirements for school districts when their teachers go on strike. Under the proposed legislation, if public school employees engage in a strike, the school district must continue to maintain two key aspects of its educational schedule: first, the district cannot reduce or eliminate the total hours established in its school year schedule, and second, the district must continue to meet the structured learning time requirements as outlined in Massachusetts regulation 603 CMR 27.04. This means that even during a teacher strike, the school district must ensure that students continue to receive the full amount of instructional time originally planned for the academic year, protecting educational continuity and preventing potential disruptions to student learning that might result from a strike.
