What changed in the latest version
12 added · 13 removedPlain-language change summary
In the latest version of Senate Bill 847, some technical details concerning how low-performing schools are identified were refined. Lines of text were adjusted, removing unnecessary wording to clarify the focus on the chancellor's role in supporting these schools. This change is important because clearer language helps ensure that the responsibilities and actions related to the bill are easier to understand and implement, potentially improving educational support in struggling schools.
