THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND PUBLIC WORKS

To whom was referred a Joint Resolution (S. 924), to provide that up to three school days missed on either September 14, 15, 16, or 17, 1999, by the students of any school of any district of this state, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass with amendment:

Amend the joint resolution, as and if amended, by striking all after the enacting words and inserting:

/ SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, for the 1999-2000 school year, local school boards may excuse up to three school days missed because of snow, ice, or other extreme weather conditions. All other school days missed because of snow, ice, or extreme weather conditions must be made up. Should local legislation be enacted to excuse days missed from school, additional days to exceed a total of three shall not be granted by the local school board. No makeup days for students may be scheduled on Saturdays. However, remedial instruction for grades 7 through 12 may be taught on Saturday at the direction of the local school board.

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor. /

Amend title to conform.

RONALD P. TOWNSEND, for Committee.
