The bill, S.B. No. 1613, amends Section 48.109(c) of the Education Code regarding the eligibility for the gifted and talented student allotment under the Foundation School Program. The key change in the bill is the increase in the percentage of a district's students in average daily attendance who can be eligible for funding, raising the limit from five percent to 10 percent. This adjustment aims to expand access to funding for gifted and talented programs in Texas schools, allowing more students to benefit from these educational resources. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
