School districts may count up to three inclement weather closure days per school year toward the 180-day requirement if they provide at least four hours of virtual or remote instruction on those same days

Each board of education, charter school board of trustees, and renaissance school project board must develop and adopt a policy for using virtual or remote instruction during inclement weather closures

The bill takes effect on the first day of the fourth month following enactment

Existing protections for public school employees' compensation, benefits, and collective bargaining rights remain intact when virtual instruction is implemented
