The School and Early Years Finance (England) Regulations 2025
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

26 Requirements relating to the calculation of local authority funding formula
(1) In determining budget shares for primary and secondary schools (other than special schools, pupil referral units and nursery schools), excluding any amount to be allocated in respect of nursery classes or community early years provision in those schools, a local authority must set single per pupil amounts or, as the case may be, single sums or lump sums for the factors referred to in regulations 13 (pupil numbers), 15 (social deprivation - primary and secondary schools), 16 (lump sums for primary and secondary schools), 17 (low prior attainment factor), 18 (English as an additional language), 19 (mobility factor) and 21 (the sparsity factor) as follows— (a) A is the value of the factor in the local authority’s funding formula (the “local factor value”) for the previous funding period; (b) B is the national funding formula factor value for the previous funding period, adjusted by the local authority’s ACA, except where a local authority is a fringe authority, where B is the national funding formula factor value for the previous funding period, adjusted by the lowest ACA applied within that local authority’s area; (c) C is the absolute value of A – B; (d) D is the local factor value for this funding period; (e) E is the national funding formula factor value in this funding period, adjusted by the local authority’s ACA, except where a local authority is a fringe authority, where E is the national funding formula factor in this funding period, adjusted by the lowest ACA applied within that local authority’s area; and (f) F is the absolute value of D – E. (2) The local authority must set D so that— (a) F is equal to or smaller than (C x 0.9); or (b) D is— (i) equal to or greater than (E x 0.975); and (ii) equal to or smaller than (E x 1.025). (3) If A is smaller than B, the local authority must set D to be equal to, or smaller than E x 1.025. (4) If A is greater than B, the local authority must set D to be equal to, or greater than E x 0.975. (5) In this regulation, “the absolute value” of a number means that number expressed as a positive number.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
