Understand the proposal
Explore the key ideas, frequently asked questions, and supporting research in a streamlined policy center.
LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL • JULY 2026
A flexible statewide framework,not a new course mandate.
The proposal would direct the Texas Education Agency to develop voluntary, age-appropriate resources and would ask public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to make at least one cyber-safety learning opportunity available each academic year.
✓ No new graduation requirement
✓ No standalone course required
✓ No mandated statewide curriculum
✓ No required technology purchase
✓ Local implementation flexibility

Does the proposal create a new graduation requirement?
No. It does not create a graduation requirement or require students to complete a separate cyber-safety course.
Would schools need to create a new class?
No. Districts could use existing technology classes, advisory periods, assemblies, library programs, online modules, guest presentations, or other locally selected activities.
Does it reduce local control?
No. Districts retain flexibility to determine how instruction is provided based on student needs and available resources.
What would the Texas Education Agency do?
TEA would develop voluntary instructional resources and implementation guidance rather than impose a single statewide curriculum.
Would schools have to buy new technology?
No. The proposal does not require specific software, hardware, applications, or artificial-intelligence platforms.
How would students benefit?
Students would gain practical skills to recognize online threats, protect personal information, use technology and AI responsibly, and report concerns.
Why is the proposal needed?
Some districts already offer strong digital-citizenship lessons, but access to practical cyber-safety education varies. The proposal aims to improve consistency while preserving flexibility.

Emerging deception risks
Generative tools can make phishing, misinformation, impersonation, manipulated images, audio, video, and deepfakes more difficult to recognize.

FOUNDER & STUDENT ADVOCATE
Building a safer digital future for Texas students
Naina Nekkanti is a rising senior at Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, an Eagle Scout, youth educator, and founder of the Texas Student Cyber Safety Initiative.
After identifying a gap between how often students use technology and how little practical cyber-safety education many receive, Naina developed an engaging workshop model focused on phishing, online privacy, account security, scams, cyberbullying, responsible technology use, and emerging AI risks.
Her work began through her Eagle Scout project and has grown into hands-on workshops, community partnerships, student-led volunteer teams, educational resources, public speaking, and statewide policy advocacy. She continues to bring cyber-safety education to youth organizations and community spaces while advancing the proposed Texas Student Cyber Safety Education Act.
