MINOR
The bill was transitioned from the House to the Senate version, updating the title to reflect Senate approval. A minor technical change was made to the readmission requirements, removing the option for electronic certification and mandating that principals provide written certification only. The substantive policy content regarding student discipline, removal, and classroom management plans remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
