Whereas, Although Trooper William "Bill" Phillips' work in Putnam County only spanned eight years, his professionalism and dedication to his career left an indelible impression on many in the county.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 15 (originating in the Committee on Education)--
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the issue of student performance in relation to instructional time and the issue of counting as full instructional days those days which have two hour delays or early dismissals.
Whereas, There is some evidence indicating that the amount of time spent in engaged academic learning in school correlates positively with academic achievement, particularly in reading, math and science, and especially for low performing students; and

Whereas, Only three counties in West Virginia met the statutorily mandated 180 days with half falling at or below 176
days in 2008-2009; and
Whereas, Unscheduled two hour delays or early dismissals were called in the state an average of 6.9 days during the 2008-2009 school year due to inclement weather; therefore, be it

Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

is hereby
requested to study instructional time in and for the state; and,
be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance
report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2011, on its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations; and, be it
