HB 2757 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a public school policy for establishing age for purposes of admission into the school for certain children of foreign military members.

HB 2757 allows Texas public school districts to create a policy enabling children of active-duty foreign military members stationed in Texas to establish their age for school admission by demonstrating they will turn the required age during the school year they apply. This directly affects children of foreign military personnel who might otherwise face strict age cutoffs for enrollment. The key provision lets school boards waive standard age requirements if a child meets the age threshold during the upcoming school year, rather than by a fixed date. The law took effect immediately upon the Governor's signature on June 20, 2025, applying to the 2025-2026 school year.
