Amends trailer bill language for the $15M CS grant program to remove barriers preventing rural and low-income districts from accessing unspent funds, including adding a match exemption for priority schools and allowing administrative costs as in-kind match.

KCA Context
$15M appropriated in 2021 remains largely unspent because the grant structure creates barriers for the districts that need it most. This is an equity issue hiding inside a budget line. The CSforCA coalition has prioritized resolving this through their policy working group, which is co-led by KCA.
