The bill amends the Revised School Code by adding Section 1284c, which allows school districts in Michigan to provide virtual instruction for up to 15 days per school year. This virtual instruction must be approved by the school district's board and requires notification to affected students and their parents or guardians prior to implementation. The bill specifies that virtual instruction days can be utilized for emergency closures, student testing days, and professional development, with a cap of 30 hours for the latter.

Additionally, the bill defines "virtual instruction" in accordance with existing law, specifically referencing the provision of virtual courses as outlined in the state school aid act. The enactment of this amendment is contingent upon the passage of related legislation, specifically Senate Bill No. ____ or House Bill No. 5428 from the 103rd Legislature.
