Plain-language change summary

The amendment to HB 2259 removed some specific wording while keeping the overall intention of the bill intact. The revisions streamline the language related to how student counts are calculated for funding in common school districts that are not part of high school districts. This matters because clearer language can lead to better understanding and implementation of funding rules, ensuring that schools receive the appropriate financial support for their students.
