Board approves virtual-day plan to allow two emergency distance-learning days

Dr. James presented a virtual-day plan for the 2027–28 school year that would permit up to two virtual days to count as instructional days if a governor-declared state of emergency prevents in-person instruction. "Basically, legislation states we can't have any virtual days or distance learning days in which we consider we take instruction for, you know, counted as an instructional day," she said, and added the plan would be filed with the state department and used only in the event of an approved emergency.
