Establishes a bullying prevention pilot program for public schools in Texas.

The bill mandates the Texas Education Agency to create a bullying prevention pilot program for public schools. The program aims to reduce bullying incidents on campuses by using research-based best practices and collaborating with experts in child and youth psychology, mental health, and education. The agency will award grants to school districts demonstrating a substantial need for bullying prevention, allowing them to implement the program at up to three campuses. The commissioner will establish application criteria and allowable uses of grant money.
