Caption from analyzed text · version I.

Summary

Help still required. The next summer or school year language goes.

The bill keeps the rule that a school district must give accelerated instruction to a student who fails certain state tests in grades three through eight or an end-of-course test, but it strikes the phrase saying that help must come during the next summer or school year. It also repeals two subsections of the same law, Subsections (a-2) and (a-3), whose contents are not shown in this text. It touches public school districts and the students who fail these tests, starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
