The bill H. 3778 introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly allows the governing body of a school district to waive the statutory 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 extends not only to public schools but also to approved home school programs and charter schools within the district.

The bill modifies existing law by providing an exception to the requirement outlined in Section 59-1-425, enabling school districts to manage closures more flexibly in response to the impacts of the hurricane. The resolution will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
