Only 10 states plus Washington D.C. have laws requiring private sector employers provide paid leave for school related activities for dependents.

We believe that this is a policy worth considering at the municipal and state levels

 

Solution:

California	40 hrs per year
Colorado	18 hrs per year
D.C.	24 hrs per year
Illinois	8 hrs per year
Louisiana	16 hrs per year
Massachusetts	24 hrs per year
Minnesota	16 hrs per year
Nevada	N/A
North Carolina	4 hrs per year
Rhode Island	10hrs per year
Vermont	24 hrs per year

Total: 184 hrs / by 11 States = 16hrs per year for Texas
