 * __Issue category & bill title__**- Education : Weekend extension plan


 * __Purpose:__** The purpose of our bill is to accomplish more weekend time while allowing more time in the classroom. More classroom time will allow more time for projects, labs and homework. Since the school day will be extended, students will receive Friday off and have the benifit of getting work done during school hours, instead of going to Saturday school and staying after. This benifits teachers also because they will not have to stay after or go to Saturday school for the kids who dont get their work done.


 * __Eligibility__**- Our bill will apply to students, teachers and coaches. Basically anyone who works for the school. Coaches for sports and extracarricular activities will have to adjust their hours along with bus drivers.


 * __Terms and benefits-__** Our bill is going to work by increasing class time along with a weekend extension. We are working to extend school days by one hour and thirty minutes. This would mean school days are seven hours and thirty minutes daily. So class periods would be fifty seven minutes all together. With all of the classroom extension, we will receive Friday off. The increased classroom time especially benefits science class because students will have more time to finish a lab instead of doing it the next day or having it for homework. Also, every student will receive a study hall. This gives the students the time needed to complete unfinished homework and labs due to sports, clubs and extracurricular after school activities. This bill will apply to all public schools. Once this bill goes into affect you will see more classroom time which will bring up students grades. You will also see more weekend time and an added study hall for all students. One more thing that will happen after our bill goes into affect is that teachers and students will not have to go to school on weekends to finish incomplete assignments, instead they will get the provided time in a study hall for all students.Students will be able to choose who they have their study hall with also.

We will need more office and classroom supplies Cost :$63900 for a yearly increase
