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 allowing the governing body of a school district to bypass the statutory requirement outlined in Section 59-1-425 regarding make-up days for inclement weather. The bill is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor.
