HB 2395 establishes a grant program to support school districts and open-enrollment charter schools in partnering with community-based child-care providers to offer free prekindergarten programs. The program targets children who are at least three years old and receive subsidized child-care services through the Texas Workforce Commission’s child-care program. The bill allows up to 3,500 children to enroll in prekindergarten each school year using funds from the grant program. The Texas Education Agency is required to report annually to the legislature on enrollment numbers. The program would begin with the 2025-2026 school year.
