Texas HB4707 amends school admission and funding eligibility criteria for children in public schools.

Texas HB4707 amends the Education Code to specify that only citizens, nationals, or lawful U.S. residents are eligible for public school admission and funding benefits. It outlines specific conditions under which a student not fitting these criteria may still be admitted, such as residing with a parent in the district or having a grandparent providing substantial after-school care.
