Texas SB786 allows school districts to use Foundation School Program funds to reimburse private employers for internships provided to students in.

Texas SB786 amends the Education Code to authorize school districts to contract with community-based organizations. These organizations match students in grades 11 or 12 participating in career and technology education programs with paid internships provided by private employers. The school districts can then reimburse these employers using funds allocated for career and technology education. The bill specifies that at least 55% of these funds must be used for career and technology education programs or for reimbursing employers through community-based organizations.
