Relating to a parent-directed supplemental services and instructional materials program for public school students; authorizing a fee.

HB 3956 creates a state-funded program allowing Texas public school parents to use grants for supplemental educational resources for their children. The program, managed by the Texas Education Agency, provides funds for virtual learning, tutoring, extracurricular activities, and college credit courses - items parents can select through online accounts. Eligible students (determined by agency criteria) receive grants from state appropriations to cover these costs, with students able to access unspent funds after graduation. The bill does not specify a parent fee but authorizes program-related administrative fees as part of its structure.
