School districts and charter schools may count canceled instructional days on January 29-31, 2019 as instructional days for calculating school year hours and average daily membership, despite health and safety closings.

School districts must either allow uncompensated employees to work a designated makeup day at normal pay rates or directly compensate them for canceled days at their normal rate of pay.

Contracted employers providing student services are encouraged to compensate regularly scheduled employees for work hours lost during the January 29-31, 2019 school closings.

Probationary teachers for 2018-2019 must complete a minimum of 120 days minus the number of instructional days canceled due to inclement weather, reducing their required service days accordingly.

The bill is effective the day following final enactment.
