Permits virtual or remote instruction for public schools used as polling places on election days.

S 2914 allows public school districts to offer virtual or remote instruction to students on election days when their school is designated as a polling place. It directly affects schools serving as polling locations during any election (including primaries, general, and municipal elections), requiring districts to ensure all students have access to necessary technology (like computers or broadband) before implementing remote learning. The bill specifies that remote instruction days on election days count toward the state’s required 180-day school year, and schools cannot use this provision for non-polling-place days. It also clarifies that schools not used as polling places cannot adopt remote learning solely to meet the 180-day requirement.
