SB83,1,2 An Act to amend 115.01 (10) (a) 1. of the statutes; relating to: the number of days on which school districts must hold school each year.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a school district is required to hold school for at least 180 days each school year, less any days on which school is closed because of inclement weather and any days on which parent-teacher conferences are held, not to exceed 5 days in any school year.

This bill deletes the exception for inclement weather. Under the bill, a school district must hold school for at least 180 days each school year, less any days on which parent-teacher conferences are held, not to exceed 5 days in any school year.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
