The bill, H. 3778, is a joint resolution that allows the governing body of a school district in South Carolina 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 resolution modifies existing law by providing an exception to the provisions of Section 59-1-425, which typically mandates make-up days for missed school due to weather conditions. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor, facilitating a more flexible response to the disruptions caused by the hurricane.
