Relating to courses to understand the United States and Texas Constitutions for high school students in public schools.

SB 2802 requires all Texas public high schools to offer a half-credit elective course on the U.S. and Texas Constitutions, using materials approved by the State Board of Education. This bill directly affects high school students in Texas public schools by mandating this specific course as part of their social studies curriculum. The key provision amends education code to require schools to provide this course to fulfill social studies credit requirements, emphasizing the U.S. and Texas Constitutions alongside government and history. The bill specifies that schools may use existing approved programs for this instruction without additional cost. It does not change other curriculum requirements but adds this specific constitutional education component.
