Allows the school board of a school district to use an adopted and verified program for e-learning days district-wide that permits student instruction to be received electronically while students are not physically present on an election day because a school was selected to be a polling place (rather than adopt a research-based program for e-learning days district-wide that shall permit student instruction to be received electronically while students are not physically present because a school was selected to be a polling place). Provides that e-learning days used for this purpose may not be counted in lieu of the district's scheduled emergency days. ## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read - More polling-day e-learning flexibility: benefit, low. When a school is chosen as a polling place and the district uses an e-learning day, the law makes existing program limits and annual checks subject to an exception. The law does not specify how the exception changes those rules. ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Cosponsor: Diane Blair-Sherlock (Democratic), House - Cosponsor: Elgie R.
