Relating to providing free prekindergarten for certain children.

SB 175 requires Texas public school districts to offer free prekindergarten to eligible children who are at least three years old (or four years old for certain students), eliminating tuition charges for these programs. It directly affects school districts, which must provide this service to qualifying children meeting specific age and eligibility criteria under Section 29.153 of the Education Code. The bill also mandates annual public reporting on early education participation, diagnostic reading assessments, and how students who attended pre-K performed on third-grade reading tests. These provisions aim to expand access to early childhood education while tracking outcomes for accountability.
