HB 225 establishes a pilot program under the Texas Education Code, titled the "Free and Reduced-Tuition Prekindergarten Grant Pilot Program." The program provides grants for free or reduced-tuition prekindergarten classes for eligible children. Administered by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) in collaboration with the Pre-K 4 SA initiative, the pilot targets school districts, open-enrollment charter schools, and private schools in the Region 20 education service center area. Eligible children must be at least three years old and reside within this region. The program mandates an annual report by TEA on student outcomes and recommendations, and is set to expire on January 1, 2031.
