Summary of the Perfected Version of the Bill

HCS HB 274 -- INCLEMENT WEATHER EXCEPTIONS FOR MANDATORY SCHOOL
ATTENDANCE (Shields)

This substitute amends an exception to the mandatory days of
school attendance that currently refers to exceptions allowed
because of flooding in specific past years to apply to inclement
weather in the 2000-2001 school year.  The section currently
permits districts to reduce the year by 11 days; the substitute
changes this to up to 5 days when a district has missed more
than 7 days overall after November 20, 2000.  The reduction of
days will be on a one-for-one basis, from one day for 8 days
missed up to 5 days for 12 or more days missed.  The requirement
for scheduling two-thirds of the missed days into the next
year's calendar will be waived for the 2001-2002 school year.

The substitute contains an emergency clause.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.
