How many of the 180 days will the State Board of Education approve for school districts to be forgiven?
Answer. Section 37-151-7(3)(d) of the Mississippi Code, 1972 as amended, gives the State Board of Education the authority to grant waivers when catastrophic conditions exist that would not be economically feasible or practicable for the district to meet the full 180 teaching days as required by state law, State Board Policy, and Accreditation Standards. In a special called meeting on October 5, 2005, the State Board of Education approved a process that gives school districts local latitude to develop a plan for making up instructional time missed due to Hurricane Katrina.
