Texas HB2949 designates the week containing November 11 as Celebrate Veterans Week in public schools.

Texas HB2949 amends the Education Code to designate the week in which November 11 falls as Celebrate Veterans Week in public schools. This week is intended to educate students about the sacrifices made by veterans. The agency, in cooperation with other state agencies, may promote this week through a coordinated program. However, no other state agency can develop an instructional program without specific funding. The changes apply starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
