HB 2796 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the permissible uses of money received from the purchase of attendance credit by a school district.

HB 2796 amends Texas Education Code to restrict how school districts can use money earned from selling attendance credits to other districts. The bill requires that funds from these sales must now be used *only* for teacher salaries and classroom instruction, removing previous flexibility for other purposes. This directly affects school districts that purchase or sell attendance credits as part of Texas' funding system. The change takes effect on September 1, 2025.
