Regulations Governing Reduction of State Aid When Length of School Terms Below 180 Teaching Days or 990 Teaching Hours [8 VAC 20 ‑ 521]
Action:
Repeal of 8VAC20-521 Following Periodic Review and Amendment of 8VAC20-510
Action 6605
 
General Information
Action Summary The periodic review found that chapter 8VAC20-521 is not necessary for the protection of public health, safety, and welfare because it essentially is a duplication of older version of § 22.1-98. The periodic review found this chapter fails to reflect the 2021 changes to the statute. Specifically, the current regulation fails to include the language in § 22.1-98 which provides that when severe weather or other emergency situations result in a school closure a school division may elect to have an unscheduled remote learning day as an option to make up time. The statute further states that school divisions may schedule no more than 10 unscheduled remote learning days a school year unless the Superintendent of Public Instruction grants an extension.
