HB 2464 - DIGEST

Provides that the board of directors of a school district in which school did not begin until after September 30, 2004, may excuse graduating seniors from the last twenty days of the one hundred eighty day school year. These students: (1) May be claimed for the entire one hundred eighty days as full-time equivalent students to the extent that they could otherwise have been so claimed for the purposes of RCW 28A.150.250 and 28A.150.260;

(2) May be provided an additional five days for noninstructional purposes as permitted under RCW 28A.150.220(3). Despite the provisions of RCW 28A.150.220(3), the five days for noninstructional purposes may be school days that occur immediately before the school day in which the students are excused; and

(3) May be provided with fewer instructional hours than required by RCW 28A.150.220(1)(b).

Expires August 31, 2004.
