S.B. No. 784 amends the Education Code to facilitate the transfer of public school students who are children of peace officers. The bill introduces new provisions that require school districts to approve transfers of these students to another district campus or any other school district in Texas, regardless of whether an agreement exists between the sending and receiving districts. Additionally, it stipulates that both districts must approve the transfer without exception and prohibits charging tuition fees for these transfers.

The bill also modifies the local innovation plan requirements, ensuring that exemptions do not apply to the transfer of students who are children of peace officers. This change is part of a broader effort to support the families of peace officers by making it easier for their children to switch schools if necessary. The new provisions will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 school year, and the amended local innovation plan rules will apply only to plans adopted or renewed after the bill's effective date.
