A BILL
To waive the requirement for certain school districts
to make up days schools are closed due to flooding
and to declare an emergency.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. (A) Notwithstanding sections 3313.48, 3313.481,
and 3317.01 of the Revised Code, no school district to which the
following conditions apply shall be required to make up any days
or hours any of its schools are closed due to flooding during the
2007-2008 school year:
(1) The district was unable to make up the days specified in
its contingency plan adopted under division (A) of section
3313.482 of the Revised Code for the schools closed due to
flooding because flooding prohibited the district from opening
those schools on the days designated in the plan.
(2) The district increased the length of school days, as
described in division (C) of section 3313.482 of the Revised Code,
to make up the number of days or hours any of its schools were
closed in excess of the number permitted by sections 3313.48,
3313.481, and 3317.01 of the Revised Code due to hazardous weather
conditions other than flooding or any other calamity described in
division (B) of section 3317.01 of the Revised Code.
(B) A school district described in division (A) of this
section shall not be considered to have failed to comply with
division (B) of section 3317.01 of the Revised Code during the
2007-2008 school year for purposes of receiving state payments
under Chapter 3317. of the Revised Code in fiscal year 2009.
Section 2. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public
peace, health, and safety. The reason for such necessity is to
ensure the uninterrupted payment of state funds to school
districts where unforeseen flooding has prevented the districts
from implementing their contingency plans for making up excess
calamity days. Therefore, this act shall go into immediate effect.
