SB2148 amends the School Code to redefine how pupil attendance is calculated in Illinois schools. It specifies that a full day of attendance requires a minimum of 5 clock hours of instruction under direct supervision. For kindergartens offering only half-day sessions, a minimum of 2.5 hours counts as a half day. Remote educational programs allow for a one-fifth day of attendance per hour of instruction, with a monthly cap. Special provisions exist for children with disabilities and those in remote learning programs.
