PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Thank you. Senator Schimpf.
Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 1254 is an initiative of the Monroe-Randolph County Regional Superintendent of Schools on behalf of Chester Community Unit School District 139. The bill was drafted with the assistance of the State Board of Education. What this was in response to is, on October 28th, 2016, Officer James Brockmeyer, of the Chester Police Department, was killed during a high-speed chase. Officer Brockmeyer was also a volunteer firefighter. They had the memorial service at Chester High School auditorium. The Governor attended the memorial service. Pursuant to security concerns, students were dismissed early on the day of the -- the service. The State Board of Education declined to classify this as an interrupted school day. What this bill does is this allows -- it changes the -- the -- the -- the Code to expand the list of categories for which partial days of attendance count toward the minimum school term. The bill adds a third category, use of school facilities by local or county authorities to hold a municipal {sic} service. This is something that is fairly common in our rural school districts, where a lot of times the -- the high school auditorium is the only suitable facility in the community. So I'm happy to ask for any -- answer any questions on the bill and I would ask for an Aye vote.
