Bill > HB2407

This bill amends the School Code to change how remote learning days are counted towards the school term's length. Previously, remote learning days and blended remote learning days were automatically considered pupil attendance days for calculating the school term's duration. Now, remote learning days will only be counted as attendance days if they are established under specific sections of the School Code (Sections 10-30 or 34-18.66). This means that school districts can still use remote learning days, but they will not automatically contribute to meeting the required number of school days unless they meet certain predefined conditions. The bill maintains the existing requirement for schools to have a minimum of 185 days in their school term, with 176 days of actual pupil attendance. The change provides more flexibility and oversight regarding how remote learning days are implemented and counted in the school calendar.
