Requires public schools to establish the general municipal election day and the general election day as a school holiday
HB 1623 requires public schools and charter schools to close for the general municipal election day and the general election day starting in the 2024-25 school year. This provision ensures that students and staff do not have to attend classes on these specific voting dates. The bill applies to all districts except those that already operate on a year-round schedule of twelve months, and it does not affect other holidays or the existing requirements for minimum instructional days.
