Godshall reintroduced former House Bill 48, An Act amending the Public School Code of 1949, which is now House Bill 73, Opening of Schools after the Labor Day Holiday.
A 2006 university survey showed that the public supports the legislation 47 percent to 26 percent, Godshall wrote in a December 2016 memo to all Pennsylvania House of Representative members. Godshall said, “This bill was introduced as a way to ensure that Pennsylvania families get all the benefits of a full, traditional summer vacation, while not negatively impacting the education of students.” He continued to explain that he has received “many calls, e-mails and letters in support of it as well.”
