Plain-language change summary

The updated bill adds clarity to how the Superintendent will select applicants for grants, specifically stating that the total number of recipients will not exceed 20 public school units. It also refines the criteria for selecting these units to ensure a balanced representation of geographic and population diversity across the state.
