FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky school districts especially hard hit by winter storms or swine flu could seek a waiver from some makeup days under a bill that has cleared the state House.
The bill is a recognition that some districts are facing the prospect of long makeup periods due to a series of winter storms along with last year's swine flu outbreak.
The measure won House passage on an 81-16 vote Thursday. It now goes to the Senate.
The proposal would apply to school districts that have missed 20 or more instructional days.
School boards in those districts could ask the state education commissioner to waive the makeup of school days missed beyond 20 days, up to a maximum of 10 days.
The legislation is House Bill 487.
