Relating to the review and evaluation of advanced placement and international baccalaureate courses offered in public schools in this state.

SB 2616 requires Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to have their Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses reviewed by the State Board of Education by December 31, 2026. The review checks if these courses comply with state law, including exam materials and instruction, and determines which schools can continue offering them. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and expires September 1, 2027. It directly affects all public schools in Texas offering AP or IB courses.
