What This Bill Does
Prohibits school districts from providing student instruction on Memorial Day and Veterans Day, regardless of potential makeup days needed due to school closures from disasters or extreme weather. If a district would normally need to schedule instruction on these days to meet required instructional minutes, the commissioner of education can approve a reduced instructional minute requirement. This legislation will apply starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
