The bill, H. 3778, is a joint resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that allows school districts to waive the requirement for public schools to make up full days missed due to inclement weather specifically related to Hurricane Helene during the 2024-2025 school year. This waiver applies to public schools in the affected districts and extends to home school programs that have been approved by the board of trustees, as well as charter schools within those districts.

The resolution modifies existing law by providing an exception to the statutory requirement outlined in Section 59-1-425, allowing for greater flexibility in managing school closures due to severe weather conditions. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
