The amendment to SB 2 clarifies that local school units can choose to either make up missed instructional days or classify them as completed days, but now explicitly states that this applies after two days of absence. Additionally, it confirms that employees of public school units, except for charter schools, will be compensated for days missed due to Hurricane Florence based on these decisions. This change matters because it ensures that teachers and staff are paid fairly during disruptions while providing schools flexibility in handling instructional time lost due to emergencies.
