Plain-language change summary

This legislative amendment shifted the focus of the bill from addressing the educational success of both homeless youth and those in foster care to specifically targeting youth in foster care. Additionally, it reinforced the requirement for school districts to consolidate incomplete coursework and support on-time graduation for these students, making it mandatory instead of just encouraged. These changes matter because they clarify and strengthen the educational protections for youth in foster care, ensuring they have a better chance to graduate on time despite the challenges they face.
