HB2711 HFA ESPINOSA AM 3-27 #1

            Delegate Espinosa moves to amend the bill on page 47, line 45, section §18-5-45, following the words “county board may” by striking the words “apply up to five days of instruction delivered through alternative methods to cancel days lost due to necessary school closures” and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“deliver instruction through alternative methods on up to five days when schools are closed due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances and these days are instructional days notwithstanding the closure of schools. The use of equivalent time gained by lengthening the school day to cancel days lost, and the delivery of instruction through alternative methods, both as defined in this section, shall be considered instructional days for the purpose of meeting the 180 separate day requirement and as employment days for the purpose of meeting the 200 day employment term.”
