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.
HB 4698 establishes a state grant program for Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools with campuses designated as "full-service community schools." These schools must provide comprehensive academic, health, and social services - including mental health care, family engagement programs, truancy support, and adult education - to students, families, and community members. The grants, funded through state appropriations or outside donations, aim to support campuses that meet specific service criteria outlined in the bill. The program is administered by the Texas Education Commissioner, who will develop rules for implementation by September 2025.
