     1. Page 2, line 9:    after "encourage" delete the remainder of line 9 and lines 10-11 and insert "the State Board of Education to provide flexibility in the number of days school must be held during a week, or the number of hours school must be held during a day in the 2001-2002 school year so that local boards of education can structure school schedules which allow students to participate in the Olympic Winter Games and still complete the fulfillment of all education requirements."

        Respectfully,



        Ron Bigelow
        Vice Chairman
