Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would give Kentucky school districts 10 extra disaster relief days to continue teaching students through alternate settings when schools must close due to emergencies. Districts could also make up missed school days by adding time to existing school days rather than extending the school year, but would need state approval before changing their calendars. Any made-up instructional time would count toward teachers' contracted work days. Who it may affect: students, parents, teachers, and local school district administrators across Kentucky.
