S.B. 1111: COMMITTEE SUMMARY - JOB-SHADOWING
Senate Bill 1111 (as introduced 5-6-98)
Sponsor: Senator Joel D. Gougeon
Committee: Human Resources, Labor and Veterans Affairs
Date Completed: 5-6-98
CONTENT
The bill would amend the State School Aid Act to provide that the time a pupil spent engaged in job-shadowing, or in a similar program that provided an opportunity to observe daily activities in a particular occupation, would be considered to be pupil instruction time for the purpose of determining whether the pupil was receiving the required minimum number of days and hours of pupil instruction, up to a maximum of one day, or the equivalent number of hours, per school year.
Under the Revised School Code (MCL 380.1284), if the board of a school district or of a public school academy does not want the school district's or the public academy's State school aid payments to be withheld, the required minimum number of days and hours of pupil instruction in a school year is as follows:
-- 181 days and 1041 hours in the 1997-1998 school year.
-- 182 days and 1047 hours in the 1998-1999 school year.
-- 183 days and 1098 hours in the 1999-2000 school year.
-- 184 days and 1104 hours in the 2000-2001 school year.
-- 185 days and 1110 hours in the 2001-2002 school year.
-- 186 days and 1116 hours in the 2002-2003 school year.
-- 187 days and 1122 hours in the 2003-2004 school year.
-- 188 days and 1128 hours in the 2004-2005 school year.
-- 189 days and 1134 hours in the 2005-2006 school year.
-- 190 days and 1140 hours in the 2006-2007 school year and each succeeding school year.
