A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4322 AS INTRODUCED 3-11-03
Currently under the State School Aid Act, a school district must offer at least 180 days of instruction each year, and on each of those days at least 75 percent of the district's students must be in attendance. If a district does not have at least 75 percent of its membership in attendance, it does not receive state aid in that proportion of 1/180 that the actual percent of attendance bears to the specified percentage. House Bill 4322 would amend the act to exempt the day designated by the Ms. Foundation for Women as "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" from the 75 percent attendance the requirement.
