"CDE currently interprets the law to toll the timeline for school breaks in excess of 5 schooldays"

"Tolled for school breaks in excess of 5 school days"

Any suggestions for "toll"?

Spanish translation:suspende la aplicación
Explanation:
en el caso de interrupción de escolaridad por un plazo mayor de 5 días" although more context would be needed to work out exactly what is going on.

In a legal sense, it refers to suspending or taking away the effect of something, such as a statute of limitations. For example, some state legislatures have enacted statutes specifically tolling the statute of limitations for victims of childhood sexual abuse. In addition, some states have allowed claims of repressed memories to toll the statute of limitations under a discovery rule or insanity provision.
Many, but not all, statutes of limitation may be subject to equitable "tolling". This "tolling" means that the clock on the limitation time period will not start to tick until the person discovers or reasonably should have discovered the fraud. Tolling (or not starting the clock) may be appropriate depending on the facts and circumstances in each case.

Reference: Legal meaning of toll

Reference information:
Toll
A sum of money paid for the right to use a road, highway, or bridge. To postpone or suspend. For example, to toll a Statute of Limitations means to postpone the running of the time period it specifies.

West's Encyclopedia of American Law, edition 2. Copyright 2008 The Gale Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
toll
v. 1) to delay, suspend or hold off the effect of a statute. Examples: a minor is injured in an accident when he is 14 years old, and the state law (statute of limitations) allows a person hurt by negligence two years to file suit for damages. But for a minor the statute is "tolled" until he/she becomes 18 and decides whether or not to sue. Thus the minor has two years after 18 to file suit. State law allows 10 years to collect a judgment, but if the judgment debtor (party who owes the judgment amount) leaves the state the time is "tolled," so the judgment creditor (party to whom judgment is owed) will have extra time to enforce the judgment equal to the time the debtor was out of state. 2) a charge to pass over land, use a toll road or turnpike, cross a bridge, or take passage on a ferry.
