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.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
