SB 1755 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the facility or location at which public school prekindergarten classes may be provided in partnership with a private entity.

SB 1755 allows public school prekindergarten programs partnering with private entities to operate in facilities without complying with most local city rules, such as zoning or business regulations. It specifically exempts these partnership locations from municipal ordinances for private prekindergarten programs (except occupancy restrictions) and from city rules governing school district-run programs. The bill directly affects school districts and charter schools that collaborate with private organizations to offer prekindergarten classes. This change simplifies facility requirements for these partnerships by reducing local regulatory barriers. The policy takes effect September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote.
