Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HB 669 specifies that the Tate County School Board is required to close Coldwater High School due to its ongoing underperformance. It clarifies that students from Coldwater will have the option to either attend one of the remaining high schools in the Tate County School District or transfer to the neighboring Senatobia Municipal School District. This change matters because it creates a clear plan for students affected by the closure, ensuring they have suitable alternatives for their education close to home.
