Relating to required instruction in the Success Sequence for students in public schools.
Texas Senate Bill 1742 mandates that public school students in grades 6 and 10 receive instruction on the "Success Sequence" - defined as earning a high school degree with additional training, securing full-time employment, and marrying before having children - beginning in the 2026-2027 school year. The bill requires the State Board of Education to develop a curriculum based on specific academic studies cited in the legislation, including works from The Brookings Institution and the American Enterprise Institute. This instruction must be integrated into existing courses like health or personal finance, not as a new standalone class. The policy directly affects all public school students in Texas during these grade levels, with implementation required by school districts and charter schools.
