Calamity Days On Path To Approval

The Ohio House voted last week to approve four addi­tional calamity days for the state’s school dis­tricts because of this winter’s extreme weather, after many school dis­tricts across the state sim­ply ran out of extra days.

This bill still awaits approval by the Sen­ate.

If the Sen­ate bill ends up sig­nif­i­cantly dif­fer­ent from the House bill, it will be brought to a con­fer­ence com­mit­tee for a com­pro­mise bill, which would then need to be passed by both houses.

The entire effort is expected to take up to two weeks.
