programs Educational Opportunities and Investments
Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 2 (SB 2), passed by the 89th Texas Legislature into law on May 3, 2025, to establish an education savings account program in Texas “to provide additional educational options to assist Texas families in exercising the right to direct the educational needs of their children, and achieve a general diffusion of knowledge.” SB 2 mandates that the program applies beginning with the 2026-27 school year.
The program will be administered through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Our office has begun work to implement the program. Over the next couple of months, a Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued to select the certified educational assistance organization(s) that will assist in implementing and operating the program and program rules will be released for public comment. In the months that follow, our office will establish the process to select education service providers and vendors of educational products.
