MODERATE

These changes ensure broader representation of K-12 education stakeholders and align the membership count with the revised list of designating authorities.
Scope change
The scope of the task force's membership was expanded to include the Louisiana School Boards Association, and the representation numbers for several existing groups were adjusted to match the new list.

Added the Louisiana School Boards Association as a new designating authority required to appoint a representative to the task force.
