School Districts Possibly Could Skip Makeup Days
KENTUCKY...
The Kentucky Senate has passed a bill to allow school districts to possibly skip some makeup days if classes were canceled for an extended time due to storms or illness. The bill comes as some districts face the prospect of long makeup periods due to a series of winter storms along with last year's swine flu outbreak. The measure passed the Senate on a 36-1 vote Friday. It goes back to the House, which will consider changes made by the Senate. The proposal would apply to school districts that have missed 20 or more instructional days. The measure also would allow districts to make up missed time by lengthening the school day.
