Relating to the flying and display of flags by public schools.
HB 2456 requires all Texas public schools to fly the U.S. and Texas flags on every regular school day starting with the 2025-2026 school year. The bill permits schools to additionally display flags of the U.S. Armed Forces or their own official school flag, but prohibits displaying any other flags. This legislation directly affects all public schools governed by the Texas Education Code by establishing specific, mandatory flag display requirements. The policy change is limited to flag display protocols and does not alter other school operations or policies.
