Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to House Bill 1472 clarifies the definition of "primary education" and expands on the operations of microschools. The added text explicitly states that a microschool can be run by various individuals and can take place in a wide range of locations, such as homes or public spaces. This change is important because it allows for more flexibility in education options and encourages innovative learning environments, making it easier for families to establish microschools.
