North Dakota Century Code Title 15.1. Elementary and Secondary Education § 15.1-27-23. Weather or other conditions--Closure of schools--State aid payments to school districts

1. The board of each school district shall establish the length of a period, day, and week in accordance with the requirements of section 15.1-06-04. If a public school or school district is closed or provides less than a full day of instruction, the public school or school district shall reschedule those hours to ensure students receive at least the minimum number of instructional hours required by subdivision a of subsection 1 of section 15.1-06-04. A school or school district may satisfy the requirements of this section by providing virtual instruction under section 15.1-06-04.

2. Any public school or school district for which the rescheduling of classes would create undue hardship may request that, for purposes of calculating state aid payments to the school district, the governor waive the rescheduling in whole or in part.
