The Texas Legislature is advancing an $8.5 billion funding package aimed at supporting public education across the state.

The Texas Senate has given initial approval to the bill, which now heads to the House of Representatives. House leaders have indicated support for the measure.

The proposed legislation includes provisions to increase teacher salaries, enhance school safety, and expand career and technical education programs.

Governor Greg Abbott has expressed support for the bill, citing its potential impact on improving staff compensation, campus security, and student training opportunities.

Originally introduced as House Bill 2, the measure received bipartisan backing following legislative negotiations. It also includes funding for upgrades to school infrastructure and security systems, in response to ongoing concerns about campus safety.

The bill seeks to reduce disparities in funding among school districts by directing more resources to underserved areas. According to lawmakers, the goal is to provide more equitable access to educational resources across Texas.

Education advocacy organizations have generally welcomed the proposal, although some continue to call for additional funding to address broader needs within the state’s education system.

If the bill is approved by the House, the funding is expected to be distributed before the 2025–2026 school year. School districts are preparing to implement the resources for compensation, infrastructure, and academic programs.
