Plain-language change summary

The bill SB 751 has been updated to change the wording around how economically disadvantaged students are counted in a new rating system for schools. The phrase "most currently available" was removed, meaning that schools will now use a specific percentage of economically disadvantaged students without any qualifiers. This change clarifies the criteria for evaluating schools, potentially making it easier to assess their performance fairly and consistently. It matters because a clear and measurable standard helps ensure that schools are held accountable for their support and resources for disadvantaged students.
