Plain-language change summary

The bill, HB 2053, has been amended to strengthen opportunities for high school students by allowing them to engage in apprenticeships, internships, or job shadow programs in various trades and skilled labor fields. It also requires schools to notify parents within 10 days if class sizes exceed limits, ensuring parents are informed about their child’s educational environment. Additionally, guidelines for partnerships with local businesses now include a model waiver to protect both students and businesses from liability. These changes aim to improve vocational education and enhance transparency for parents regarding their children's class sizes.
