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 campus within the district or to any other school district in Texas, regardless of prior agreements between the districts. Additionally, it stipulates that both the sending and receiving 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 such plans cannot exempt districts from the provisions related to the transfer of students who are children of peace officers. This amendment is part of a broader effort to support the families of peace officers by providing them with more educational options. The changes will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 school year, and the new provisions will apply only to local innovation plans adopted or renewed after the bill's effective date.
