MINOR

The bill was formally enacted into law as Chapter 49 of the 2026 Virginia Acts of Assembly. The substantive text of the law regarding at-risk student programs, class size reductions, and technology funding remains unchanged from the enrolled version, with the primary differences being the addition of official chapter numbering, approval dates, and page formatting.

Scope change

The scope of applicability remains unchanged; the bill continues to apply to Virginia public school divisions and the state Board of Education.

TECHNICAL

Added official chapter designation (Chapter 49) and approval date (April 2, 2026) to the header, indicating the bill has become law.

Inserted page break markers and pagination numbers (e.g., '2 of 2') to match standard legislative formatting.

Adjusted line breaks and spacing in the body text to fit the new chapter layout, but the legal content and wording are identical.
