HB 2732 prohibits public school districts from providing student instruction on Veterans Day. The bill amends the Education Code to ensure that schools remain closed on both Memorial Day and Veterans Day, even when making up for lost instructional minutes due to emergencies like extreme weather. If a school district would otherwise be required to hold classes on Veterans Day to meet instructional requirements, the Texas Education Agency commissioner must approve an exception allowing fewer minutes of instruction. The bill applies starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
