MI HB6100

Allows districts to count up to 5 additional days of instruction as credited school days if pupil instruction is not provided due to COVID-19 staffing shortages during the 2021-2022 school year, upon request to the superintendent of public instruction.

Reduces the required attendance threshold from 75% to 60% of district membership for up to 9 days during 2021-2022 when COVID-19 staffing shortages prevent normal operations, while maintaining state aid payment at the reduced attendance rate.

Defines "staffing shortages caused by COVID-19" as shortages resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic as determined by the district, and applies this definition to both the days-of-instruction credit and attendance threshold provisions.

Maintains existing penalties for districts that fail to provide minimum instructional hours and days, including forfeiture of state aid calculated by the proportion of noncompliance.

All provisions related to COVID-19 staffing shortages apply only to the 2021-2022 school year.
