The bill, H. 5546, is a joint resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly that allows the York County School District 4 Board of Trustees to waive the requirement for make-up days for Flint Hill Elementary School. This waiver applies specifically to the school days missed on March 5 and 6, 2026, due to a chemical leak on adjacent property. The resolution overrides Section 59-1-425 and any other relevant laws that would typically mandate make-up days for missed school.
If enacted, this resolution will take effect upon approval by the Governor, providing immediate relief to the school district in managing its academic calendar in light of the unforeseen circumstances caused by the chemical leak.
