Relating to the eligibility of children enrolled in a special education program for free prekindergarten programs in public schools.

SB 2526 amends Texas education law to explicitly include children receiving special education services under Subchapter A as eligible for free prekindergarten programs in public schools. This change directly affects children already enrolled in special education programs, ensuring they qualify for free pre-K without needing to meet other eligibility criteria like homelessness or military family status. The bill adds this category to the existing list of qualifying groups in Section 29.153(b) of the Education Code. It will take effect for the 2025-2026 school year, pending legislative approval.
