Should the school year calendar be determined by Kings Dominion or the local school board? That is the question.
The 2013 attempt to answer:
HB 1309 School calendar; local school boards responsible for setting and determining opening of school year.
Chief patron: Barbara J. Comstock
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary as introduced:
School calendar. Makes local school boards responsible for setting the school calendar and determining the opening of the school year and eliminates the post-Labor Day opening requirement and "good cause" scenarios for which the Board of Education may grant waivers of this requirement.
