This bill allows for a one-time implementation of virtual or remote instruction for students attending public schools that serve as polling places during the special election on April 16, 2026, to fill a vacancy in the United States House of Representatives for the 11th Congressional District. It stipulates that school districts must ensure students have access to necessary technology, such as computers and broadband, before offering this instruction. The superintendent of schools is granted the authority to implement the program and must inform students, parents, staff, and the board of education of the decision.

Additionally, the bill provides that the day of virtual or remote instruction will count towards the state's 180-day school attendance requirement, which is typically mandated for school districts to receive state aid. This provision serves as a temporary exception to existing laws that only allow virtual instruction under specific circumstances, such as emergencies. The program must still align with the standards set by the Commissioner of Education, ensuring that it meets the necessary educational criteria.
