Allows up to four days of hybrid learning in dangerous or emergency conditions.

This bill amends Tennessee Code to allow local education agencies and public charter schools to provide up to four days of hybrid learning, where some students participate in-person and others remotely, in dangerous or emergency conditions. It also mandates that schools make services required by a student's individualized education program (IEP) available on hybrid learning days. Schools must confirm student participation in instructional time, determine excused versus unexcused absences, and implement interventions for absences during remote instruction.
