WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATIVE NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online House sends school calendar bill back to Senate April 10, 2009 5:54 PM CHARLESTON, W.Va. West Virginia's House of Delegates has asked the Senate to sign off on its version of Gov. Joe Manchin's school calendar proposal. The House approach passed Friday would allow schools to count extra time in class toward the state mandate of 180 instruction days. It sets total minutes spent learning for schools within a 180-day framework. Schools that go long on a given day would count that extra time toward the 180-day total. When the Senate passed the bill last month, it instead met the goal by starting the school year two weeks before Labor Day. It also didn't count as work days any school day in which class is canceled by 4:30 a.m. A joint committee is considered likely to resolve the differing versions before the session ends Saturday. |
