If weather conditions result in an early dismissal or a delayed opening of school, a school district which maintains separate morning and afternoon half-day kindergarten sessions may provide either a morning or afternoon half-day kindergarten session on such day. As used in this section, “remote learning” means instruction by means of one or more Internet-based software platforms as part of a remote learning model.
