AUSTIN, Texas 鈥 April 29, 2021 鈥 The Texas Education Agency recognizes the many sacrifices our military-connected students and their families make for each of our freedoms. As April comes to a close, 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 wishes to extend a special thank you for your service and commitment. More than 144,000 military-connected students attended Texas schools during the 2020 fall semester. Military-connected students attend school systems in every region of Texas. During April鈥檚 Month of the Military Child, 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 has reminded Texas鈥檚 1,200-plus school systems that we are now accepting applications for the Purple Star Campus Designation. This designation is a special honor created by the 86th Texas Legislature which recognizes Texas independent school districts and open enrollment charter schools that show their support and commitment to meeting the unique needs of military-connected students and their families. Military-connected students often experience school transitions every few years, with the average military-connected student moving 6-9 times during his or her K-12 educational experience.
In the program鈥檚 first year, 116 schools representing 25 school systems across 10 Education Service Center (ESC) regions applied for and received the designation. 香港六合彩开奖结果2023 looks forward to seeing additional campuses apply for and earn this special designation for the upcoming 2021-22 school year, which will be the second full year of this award recognition. Applications are accepted on an annual basis. Any Texas school can become a Purple Star Campus, regardless of the size of its military-connected student population. Districts are encouraged to support campuses and help them meet the criteria for Purple Star Campus Designation status.听
