Texas HB2779 amends the Foundation School Program to adjust the allotments for free prekindergarten programs. It mandates that school districts contract with community-based child-care providers for prekindergarten classes. The bill sets a cap of 10,000 students in average daily attendance for allotments, with specific caps for the 2026-2027, 2027-2028, and 2028-2029 school years. It also allows the commissioner to waive certain requirements and encourages partnerships between school districts and child-care providers. The changes apply starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
