Senate Bill 25 Signed Into Law
Evan • January 25, 2022
During the first week of the legislative session, KASS scored an important bipartisan victory with Senate Bill 25 (SB25). Signed into law on January 14, 2022, SB25 will:
- Extend the temporarily revised retirement reemployment provisions until June 30, 2022 ; and provides up to 10 days of remote instruction per school for the remainder of the school year for pandemic-related issues.
- Help superintendents, school boards and their teams continue navigate the pandemic. School districts have prioritized in-person learning, but superintendents need the tools to respond to an unpredictable environment when conditions change that compromise the health and safety of students and staff.
