Section 392-129-150 - School emergency closure-Implementation of superintendent of public instruction's determination of eligibility

If the superintendent of public instruction determines that the school district or charter school has provided a conclusive demonstration that one or more unforeseen natural events, mechanical failures, or actions or inactions by one or more persons prevented the school district or charter school from operating the school, the school district or charter school shall receive its full annual allocation of state moneys. However, the superintendent of public instruction may only excuse the school district or charter school for up to two scheduled school days per incident and not for more than three scheduled school days per school year. Provided, the superintendent may excuse more than two scheduled school days per incident or three scheduled school days per year where the school is located in a county which was subject to a state of emergency declaration by the governor due to fire, flood, explosion, storm, earthquake, epidemic, or volcanic eruption, and the event giving rise to the emergency declaration prevented operation of the school.
