AI Summary
This bill modifies the existing education code related to the gifted and talented student allotment under the Foundation School Program by increasing the maximum percentage of students in a school district who can be funded as gifted and talented from five percent to ten percent. This change effectively doubles the number of students who can receive specialized funding and support for gifted and talented programs within a school district. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, which provides schools and districts time to prepare for the expanded eligibility. By raising the percentage cap, the legislation aims to provide more educational opportunities and resources for high-performing students across Texas school districts.
