Non-Educational Community-Based Support Services (NECBS) | Texas Education Agency Non-Educational Community-Based Support Services (NECBS) Program Update: House Bill 2 from the 89th Texas Legislative Session introduced changes to the Noneducational Community-Based Support Services (NECBS) program, codified in Texas Education Code (TEC) §29. 013.
These changes affect eligibility criteria, the application process, and the responsibilities of School Systems. The program will shift to a grant system provided to parents of eligible students rather than parents having to go through their LEAs for access to, and payment for, NECBS services.
Program Pause – The current NECBS program, which allows school systems to apply for reimbursement on behalf of families for eligible services, ended on August 31, 2025. TEA must adopt rules to administer this revised program, so the grants will not be available until those rules are effective.
Until new Commissioner rules are adopted and the updated program infrastructure is in place, families will not be able to access NECBS services or funding. Rulemaking Timeline – § 89. 1127.
Noneducational Community-Based Support Services Grant Program became effective on April 5, 2026; however, associated rulemaking adjustments to TEC § 29. 008 are pending and anticipated to become effective in early September. Shift in Application Responsibility – Once the revised program is operational, parents—not school systems—will apply directly for NECBS grants.
School systems will no longer access NECBS funds to purchase services on behalf of families. Eligibility - The grants will be accessible to students who are placed by their ARD committee in an approved residential program or in a day placement program and determined at-risk of being placed in a residential program.
Accounts – Once the program is operational and an application has been received and determined to be eligible, an account will be established on request of an eligible parent to assist in accessing approved services. New School System Responsibilities – Although school systems will no longer manage applications or reimbursements, they are required to: Notify eligible families about the availability of the grant.
Designate a campus or district staff member to assist families in accessing the grant. Inform families who previously benefited from NECBS that services will be temporarily unavailable. Notify families that changes in legislation may affect their future eligibility.
Meet the staff designation requirement outlined in the new statute. Further updates will be provided as the rulemaking process progresses. Guidance documents will be available on both this TEA NECBS webpage and the Education Service Center (ESC) 10 NECBS webpage .
