New At-Risk Student Definitions Begin in 2025–2026 (Texas SB 991)
Starting in the 2025–2026 school year, Texas Senate Bill 991 updates how schools identify students who may be at risk, adding two attendance-based categories: chronic absenteeism and truancy. This designation is not a punishment but allows schools to provide early support and resources.
These changes emphasize the importance of attendance in academic success. Families with questions may contact their campus or the district Community Outreach Department for more information.
