Relating to the eligibility of certain children of classroom teachers for enrollment in a free prekindergarten program.

HB 1569 amends Texas Education Code Section 29.153(b) to add a new eligibility category for free prekindergarten programs. It allows children of public school classroom teachers (at the primary or secondary level in Texas) to enroll in the program, expanding existing eligibility criteria that previously covered groups like homeless children, military families, and foster youth. The bill takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year. This change directly affects children of Texas public school teachers seeking free pre-K enrollment.
