Relating to the establishment of a grant program for school district or open-enrollment charter school campuses that are designated as full-service community schools.
SB 558 establishes a grant program for Texas school districts and open-enrollment charter schools with campuses designated as "full-service community schools." These schools must provide comprehensive services - including academic support, health care, family engagement programs, mental health services, and nutrition - to students, families, and community members to improve educational outcomes. The bill authorizes the commissioner of education to distribute grants from available funds, solicit donations, and set rules for the program. It directly affects qualifying schools seeking funding to expand community-based support services. The program would take effect September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote for immediate implementation.
