Allows Texas school districts to excuse high school students from attending school to visit accredited higher education institutions.
The bill amends the Texas Education Code to allow school districts to excuse high school students from attending school to visit accredited higher education institutions during their junior and senior years. The maximum excused absences are two days in the junior year and four days in the senior year. The school district must adopt a policy to determine when an absence will be excused and a procedure to verify the student's visit. The changes apply starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
