4-Day Week & 2019-20 Calendar Update
Shidler Public Schools has approved the 2019-2020 school year calendar (linked below). Our school district will remain on a 4-Day School Week for the 2019-2020 school year. On Thursday, April 18th SB441 (calendar bill) was modified by the House Rules Committee and is now eligible for House floor consideration. If SB441 passes out of the House, it would be sent to the Senate for consideration. The latest change made by the House of Representatives to SB441 would postpone implementation of the calendar portion of the bill until 2021-2022. Key provisions of the bill are:
- beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, a school district may adopt a school schedule lasting at least 1,080 hours with no minimum amount of days of instruction per school year if it meets or exceeds the minimum guidelines for student performance and school district cost savings established by the State Board of Education. Minimum performance and cost savings guidelines would be determined by the State Board of Education and require approval of the Legislature prior to implementation.
- if a school adopts a school-hours policy with at least 165 days of instruction, the school must receive permission from the State Board of Education, but would not have to meet the minimum guidelines.
- the proposed $1,200 teacher pay raise previously contained in HB1780 has been included in SB441 and if passed, would begin September 1, 2019.
