HB 687 establishes a pilot program for bullying prevention in public schools. The Texas Education Agency will develop the program using research-based best practices, collaborating with experts in psychology, mental health, and education. Grants will be awarded to eligible school districts demonstrating significant need, enabling the program's implementation at up to three campuses per district. The bill mandates technical assistance for grant recipients and allows the agency to use appropriated funds or external grants for implementation. The Act takes effect on September 1, 2025​.
