CT HB05287

Commissioner of Education must develop remote learning standards by January 1, 2022, and update them as necessary, which are not deemed to be regulations.

Beginning July 1, 2022, local and regional boards of education may authorize remote learning for grades 9-12 if they comply with state standards and adopt attendance policies counting students present who spend at least half the school day in virtual classes, meetings, time-logged activities, or assignment completion.

Beginning July 1, 2023, local and regional boards of education may authorize remote learning for grades kindergarten through 12 under the same compliance and attendance policy requirements.

Student attendance policies must comply with Department of Education guidance on remote learning attendance.
