Plain-language change summary

The revised version of Senate Bill 718 clarifies the conditions under which principals can receive a state-funded salary bonus. It specifies that a principal can receive only one bonus during the specified time frame and that the bonus will be paid at the highest available amount. This change is important because it reinforces transparency and ensures that principals are fairly recognized for their performance without the risk of multiple bonuses skewing the distribution of funds.
