Relating to the permissible uses of the allotment for students with dyslexia or related disorders under the Foundation School Program.

HB 5355 amends Texas Education Code Section 48.103(d) to allow school districts to use up to 20% of the foundation allotment for students with dyslexia or related disorders to contract with private providers for supplemental academic services recommended in the student's plan. This change directly affects Texas public school districts and students diagnosed with dyslexia or related learning disorders who qualify for the Foundation School Program. The bill specifies that students cannot be excused from school to receive these services, ensuring they remain in the classroom. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
