Relating to an allotment for public school students who require significant resources under the Foundation School Program and the composition of a school district's threat assessment and safe and supportive school team.
SB 1676 creates a new funding allotment for Texas public school districts to cover 75% of the costs for students requiring significant resources under the Foundation School Program. To qualify, districts must document efforts like developing behavior improvement plans and engaging parents.

These provisions take effect for the 2025-2026 school year, with the funding details posted publicly annually. The bill directly affects school districts serving students with high-needs, particularly in behavioral and mental health support.
