House Passes Make-Up Bill
The House voted 96-2 Wednesday (today) to approve legislation that would give some Kentucky school districts the option to not make up as many as 10 missed school days. As a result of the January ice storm and an earlier windstorm in the wake of Hurricane Ike, some districts missed more than 20 days. The legislation affects districts in counties declared federal disaster areas. Others would have to seek approval from state education officials. The legislation, House Bill 322, now goes to the Senate.
