A new legislation, which passed through the state Senate and House with virtually no resistance, creates the concept of flexible instruction days for districts to use when school is closed for any number of reasons — from inclement weather to building issues.
These days, which could include online or offline instruction, or a combination of the two, would be counted toward a district’s required 180 days of instruction.
The program calls for comparable options to be made available for students and teachers who do not have public broadcast or internet access due to lack of power, technology or connectivity.
Gov. Tom Wolf has indicated he’ll sign the bill into law.
