Ohio House delays formal vote on calamity day bill

0

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio House has held off taking a
formal vote on a plan to let schools take up to four additional days off
this year because of the season’s extreme weather.
A House
spokesman said Wednesday that members plan to take an additional week to
continue to work on the number of days in the proposal and review its
costs.
Snow and frigid temperatures has led many districts across
Ohio to exhaust their five allowable calamity days. Some have cancelled
classes for 10 or more days.
Gov. John Kasich (KAY’-sik) has been among those advocating adding extra snow days on a one-time basis
this year.
Another
proposal slated to get a Senate hearing Wednesday would excuse high
school seniors from makeup days that fall after their scheduled
graduation ceremonies.
