Bill > HB2757

This bill modifies Texas education law to allow school districts to adopt policies that provide flexibility for children of foreign military members regarding school admission age requirements. Specifically, school district boards of trustees can now create policies that permit a child of an active-duty foreign military member stationed in Texas to establish their school admission eligibility by demonstrating they will reach the required age during the school year they are seeking to enter. This means that even if a child does not precisely meet the existing age cut-off dates, they may still be admitted if they will turn the required age within that same school year. The provision is designed to accommodate the unique circumstances of military families who may be temporarily stationed in Texas and want to ensure their children can attend school consistently. The bill will take effect for the 2025-2026 school year, and it becomes effective immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers, or otherwise on September 1, 2025.
