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.

(1) Every governing body of a maintained school and every local education authority shall determine and keep under review a policy with respect to the provision of, and the classes or descriptions of case in which they propose to make charges for, any optional extra or board and lodging in respect of which charges are permitted by section 109 of this Act, other than education provided at a grant-maintained school in pursuance of arrangements made under section 68(8) of the Education Act 1993.
(2) No such body or authority shall make such a charge unless they have both—
(a) determined a policy under subsection (1) above with respect to the making of such charges (their “charging policy "); and
(b) determined a policy (their “remissions policy ")—

(ii) in the case of such a policy determined by the governing body of any school other than a grant-maintained school, setting out also any circumstances in which the governing body propose to meet (in whole or in part) any charge payable to the local education authority in accordance with the authority’s charging policy for any optional extra or board and lodging provided for a registered pupil at the school.
(3) Any remissions policy determined by the governing body of a maintained school or by a local education authority shall provide for complete remission of any charges otherwise payable in respect of board and lodging provided for a pupil on a residential trip if—
(a) the education provided on the trip is education in respect of which by virtue of section 106 no charge may be made; and
(b) his parents are in receipt of income support , family credit or an income-based jobseeker’s allowance (payable under the Jobseekers Act 1995) or disability working allowance in respect of any period wholly or partly comprised in the time spent on the trip.
(4) Any such body or authority shall keep under review any remissions policy determined by them under this section.

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.
