By: McReynolds
Public Education
3/28/1999
Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Currently, campus site-based decision-making committees have the authority
to approve the content of any staff development, but do not have the
authority to decide the number of non-instructional days dedicated to staff
development.  H.B. 2361 gives campus-level committees the authority to
determine how non-instructional days are used. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution.
