Operative words

I have declared that Remote Learning Days will begin for schools statewide on March 31 and continue until in-person instruction can resume.... During Remote Learning Days, schools may implement either an E-Learning Plan or a Remote Learning Day Plan that provides students with instruction and access to educators through whatever means possible.... Remote Learning Days, Remote Learning Planning Days, and Act of God Days count as actual student attendance days.... Additionally, Governor JB Pritzker's Executive Order 2020-15, issued today, suspends state assessments for spring 2020

Enforcement

23 Ill. Adm. Code 5.10(a) ('During Remote Learning Days, schools must conduct instruction remotely'); 23 Ill. Adm. Code 1.20 (recognition)
