Relating to the transfer of certain public school students who are children of peace officers.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Texas Education Code to allow the transfer of public school students who are children of peace officers. Under the new provision, upon request by a peace officer who is a parent or legal guardian of a student, the school district's board of trustees must transfer the student to another campus or school district. The transfer must be to the campus or district selected by the requesting peace officer, but the school district is not required to provide transportation for the transferred student. The bill applies starting with the 2023-2024 school year.
