Why this matters
Virtual instruction days directly affect when students must be physically present, how teachers deliver required instructional hours, and how districts satisfy state day/hour requirements tied to per-pupil funding. A formal statutory authorization would move virtual days from ad hoc waiver territory into a permanent school-operations tool, with downstream implications for families needing childcare, attendance accounting, and equity of access to at-home instruction.
