SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

School closings; waiver of makeup days. Permits the Board of Education to waive the requirement that school divisions provide additional teaching days to compensate for school closings resulting from a declared state of emergency. If the Board grants such a waiver, there shall be no proportionate reduction in the amount paid by the Commonwealth from the Basic School Aid Fund. However, the local appropriations for educational purposes necessary to fund 180 teaching days shall not be proportionally reduced by any local governing body due any reduction in the length of the term of any school or school division permitted by such waiver.
