Plain-language change summary

The bill HB 114 has been amended to clarify the age requirements for kindergarten admission and to address a scoring error in the upcoming science exam. Specifically, it now states that children under six who are enrolled in kindergarten are considered "of compulsory school age," but parents can withdraw them if they choose to do so in consultation with the school's staff. This change is important because it provides clearer guidelines for school districts and gives parents more control over their young children's education.
