2003 Senate Bill 364

House Roll Call 199: Passed

To revise the law which requires a minimum of 180 days of instruction in schools as a condition of state funding, to instead require 1,098 hours of instruction per year (which comes to 6.1 hours a day over 180 days). Note: There has been discussion in some school districts of going to a four-day week with longer school days, or other alternative scheduling arrangements. This bill is part of a legislative package comprised of Senate Bills 364 to 369.
