Bill Summary
Relating to allowing public schools to employ or accept as volunteers chaplains.
AI Summary
This bill allows public schools in Texas to employ or accept as volunteers chaplains to provide support, services, and programs for students, as assigned by the school's board of trustees or governing body. The bill also adds chaplains as an option for the use of school safety and security funds, which can be used for things like mental health support and suicide prevention programs. School districts and charter schools are required to take a record vote within six months on whether to adopt a policy authorizing the use of chaplains, and the bill applies beginning with the 2023-2024 school year.
