Two Alabama lawmakers want to make summer vacation a little bit shorter for students
Alabama schools are required to have 180 days of instruction per year and if this bill passes, school boards would have the choice to add another 30 days on top of that. Rep. Collins said one of the most important things to know about this bill is that these extra days will not be mandated.
Rep. Collins said she hopes this bill, if passed, will help combat student learning loss during the summer. She said with less time to sit at home students will have a better chance of retaining what they learned from the previous school year. “Because it’s not a mandate, each school could opt into it,” Rep. Collins said. “So I’m hopeful that we’ll have some innovative school systems that truly want to do something about student achievement.”
