西弗吉尼亚州立法者通过了法案,以自2027年起的900小时规则取代180天学校要求。 West Virginia lawmakers pass bill to replace 180-day school requirement with 900-hour rule, effective 2027.

西弗吉尼亚参议院(West Virginia Council)已通过一项法案, 从2027年7月1日起, 以900小时的教学授权取代国家180天学校要求, 让各学区在日历上有更大的灵活性。 The West Virginia Senate has passed a bill to replace the state’s 180-day school requirement with a 900-hour instructional mandate, effective July 1, 2027, giving school districts greater calendar flexibility. 这种改变使各区能够维持传统的时间安排,或采用替代模式,包括减少有同等教学时间的学校日数。 The change allows districts to maintain the traditional schedule or adopt alternative models, including fewer school days with equivalent instructional hours. 支持者说,它促进创新,解决像雪天那样的干扰问题,而批评者则警告说,它每年的教学时间可减少23天,可能会影响学生的成绩和教育者退休资格。 Supporters say it promotes innovation and addresses disruptions like snow days, while critics warn it could reduce instructional time by up to 23 days annually, potentially affecting student outcomes and educator retirement eligibility. 法案现在转至代表院。 The bill now moves to the House of Delegates.
