Oklahoma Senate advances bill limiting virtual school days
Several states are currently addressing the use of virtual learning days in their education systems. In Kentucky, House Bill 241 has been amended to protect a virtual academy from closure, despite opposition from its sponsor, Rep. Timmy Truett, who argues it undermines public education. Meanwhile, West Virginia's Senate Bill 646 has passed, allowing an increase in remote learning days from five to ten due to winter weather disruptions, with lawmakers emphasizing the need for flexibility. In Oklahoma, Senate Bill 758 is advancing to limit the use of virtual days, permitting them only during emergencies, as legislators stress the importance of in-person instruction for effective learning. Advocates for the Oklahoma bill argue that excessive virtual days have negatively impacted student engagement and overall educational outcomes. All these legislative measures reflect a growing concern about balancing traditional and virtual learning methods in response to recent educational challenges.
