What changed in the latest version
37 added · 38 removedPlain-language change summary
In the latest version of Bill SJR 45, the approval of certain school district waiver requests has been reinstated. Specifically, the Senate now approves additional waivers for school districts regarding instructional time and physical education, which were previously disapproved in the earlier draft. This change is significant because it allows those districts to have more flexibility in meeting educational requirements, potentially benefiting students' learning environments.
