SB 3008 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the transfer of public school students who are children of certain public servants.

SB 3008 allows public school students who are children of peace officers, active-duty military personnel (including Texas National Guard), or state/federal judges to request transfers to another campus or school district within the same district or under an existing inter-district agreement. The parent making the request selects the specific campus or district, and school districts are not required to provide transportation for these transfers. This law applies starting the 2025-2026 school year and amends Texas Education Code Section 25.0344 to include these public servant categories. It directly affects students of these specific public servants by providing a transfer option under defined circumstances.
