Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to establish a mandated monthly half day for students to allow for school staff planning time.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a mandatory monthly half-day for students on one Friday each month, dedicated solely to instructional planning for school staff, meaning teachers can use this time for individual or team planning but not for administrative meetings or training. The bill also makes minor technical changes to existing West Virginia code regarding school calendars, including updating references to other sections of the code and clarifying the definition of an "instructional day" and how "cocurricular activities" are handled.
