MODERATE

The bill was substantially rewritten to shift focus from school grading calculations to early warning systems for at-risk students. The new version adds requirements for tracking attendance, suspensions, course failures, and standardized test scores to identify students needing support. It also introduces new provisions for reading and mathematics deficiencies, classroom library initiatives, and parental notification requirements.
