Technology (Broadband Access · Elections)

This bill allows public schools designated as polling places on election days to offer virtual or remote instruction instead of in-person classes. It requires school boards to ensure all students have access to necessary technology (like computers or broadband) before implementing remote learning on those days. The virtual instruction day counts toward the state's required 180-day school year, and schools aren't required to provide hybrid (in-person + remote) options on election days. The provision only applies to schools actually serving as polling locations during elections, not to other schools.
