Relating to the provision of instruction in a manner that is not in person.

SB 970 makes enrollment in remote or online learning programs voluntary for Oregon students, meaning school districts cannot require students to participate. It directly affects students, families, and school districts by ensuring choice in instructional formats. The bill includes three exceptions: temporary remote learning during behavioral assessments or suspensions, or for majority enrollment due to public emergencies like health crises or disasters. These exceptions allow schools to use remote learning under specific, limited circumstances without violating the voluntary enrollment rule.
