Wisconsin public schools would no longer be required to have students attend 180 days of school under a proposed bill in the Senate Education Committee, according to a story in the Journal Sentinel. The committee is expected to consider the legislation on Tuesday. But it would still require student to attend school for a specific number of hours. Under the provisions of the bill, public schools that provide year-round school to get state funding for interim sessions and lab periods. What do you think?
