This bill seeks to enhance early educational interventions by broadening the focus from solely literacy to include numeracy, thereby improving support for young children. It introduces greater flexibility in determining children's eligibility for these interventions, which is expected to increase access to essential resources. The bill also revises reporting requirements to ensure effective data collection and sharing, promoting accountability and transparency in educational programs. Key amendments include the deletion of the term "literacy" from specific reporting requirements, reflecting a shift towards a more comprehensive approach to educational interventions.

Furthermore, the bill outlines new provisions for calculating Average Number Belonging (ANB) for students in various educational programs, allowing school districts to include students who demonstrate proficiency despite not meeting required instructional hours. It also establishes guidelines for including students over the age of 19 with disabilities in ANB calculations and mandates semiannual reports on attendance and enrollment. The bill emphasizes collaboration between school districts and agencies serving adults with developmental disabilities to support transition goals, with the effective date set upon passage and approval.
