2003 House Bill 4452 ↩

House Roll Call 429: Passed

To revise the law which requires a minimum of 180 days of instruction 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). School would be allowed to meet the minimum of 1,098 hours of instruction per year to do so in less than the currently required 180 days, but not by using four-day school weeks. The bill may allow four-day weeks for part of the school year, but not on a regular basis throughout the year. Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm has vetoed Senate Bill 364, which also has replaces the 180-days with a 1,098 requirement, and does allow four-day weeks.
