Plain-language change summary

The changes to SB 1854 allow school districts to not only abolish their working cash fund but also to abate it under certain conditions. This means that districts now have more flexible options for managing their financial reserves. Allowing for abatement could help schools better adjust their funding in response to changing financial needs, which is important for maintaining programs and services.
