Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of House Bill 11, the term "school director" has been removed from the list of defined terms, which previously included roles related to educational programs for schools serving students who are deaf or blind. This change simplifies the definitions within the bill, likely streamlining its focus on student services and individual education programs. Removing this term may also impact how the schools are administratively structured or governed. Overall, these adjustments aim to clarify the bill's intent and ensure it better serves the needs of the students.
