Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill SB 398 include a clearer intent to reimburse school districts for all eligible costs associated with the education of disabled students who are residentially placed by a state agency or the courts. This adjustment ensures that districts will be compensated for students in various situations, not just those previously specified.
