Beshear Signs Disaster Days Bill

By Angela Hatton

Frankfort, KY – Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear has signed a bill that will allow waivers for school days missed due to the ice storm. The measure sponsored by Princeton Representative Mike Cherry allows a school district to take up to ten days off their calendar, instead of extending their school year. The bill will also apply to days missed last September due to Hurricane Ike.
