by striking the second paragraph of the rider and substituting the following: The Windham School District shall use funds appropriated above to serve those students whose participation will help achieve the goals of reduced recidivism and the increased success of former students in obtaining and maintaining employment. To achieve these goals, people with the earliest projected release or parole eligibility dates should receive high priority. This policy shall not preclude the Windham School District from serving other populations according to needs and resources. For students who successfully complete the district's program during the 2024-25 biennium, the Windham School District shall report to the Ninetieth Legislature on the following: recidivism rates, employment rates, and attainment of certificates of high school equivalency, high school diplomas, professional certifications, and adult education literacy levels.
