HB 2 Bill Summary
As substituted, the bill also known as the "Property Relief Act" aims to provide the largest property tax cut in Texas history. The bill would compress all school district tax rates by $0.15. This means that homeowners would save a reported $460 on their annual property tax bills in 2024 and this amount would grow to $590 in 2025 on a residential property valued at $350,000. The bill is estimated to cost $12 billion to implement for the 2024-45 biennium.
Additionally, the bill would reduce the limit on annual appraisal increases to 5% for all types of real property in the state. Under current state law, the value of a homeowner’s primary residence can rise no more than 10% each year. The bill would lower this threshold to 5% and expand the benefit to include commercial property owners. The substituted version of the bill clarifies that "real property" include manufacture/mobile homes. The bill would require that the tax collector enter into a contract to escrow the payment of property taxes at the request of a property owner. The additional tax rate compression would take effect Sept. 1, 2023. The provision requiring a collector of property taxes to offer escrow accounts would take effect Jan. 1, 2024. The limitation on appraised valued would take effect Jan. 1, 2024, contingent on voter approval of a constitutional amendment (HJR 1). |

HB 100 Bill Summary
As filed, the bill would make several changes beginning in the 2023-24 school year. The bill would increase the minimum salary of each classroom teacher, full-time speech pathologist, full-time librarian, and full-time school counselor according to their years of experience. School districts that do not meet proposed salary minimums in the 2023-24 school year can provide an employee a one-time bonus that is equal to the difference between the compensation earned and what the employee should have received. Notwithstanding the proposed minimum salary, a school district that increases salaries for employees (above) by at least $8,000 in the 2023-24 school year, compared to the 2022-23 school year is considered to be in compliance with the salary requirements for 2023-24 school year.
The bill would increase the Basic Allotment by $50 to $6,210. For any year the BA greater than the previous year, the district would be required to spend 50% (currently 30%) of the year over year change to increase the average total compensation per employee for classroom teacher, full-time librarian, full-time school counselor, or full-time school nurse. The bill changes the Small and Mid-Sized District Allotment to be based on average enrollment. The bill provides that the Transportation Allotment would be greater of $1.54 per mile per eligible student or the rate set by General Appropriations Act. The bill adds a new Allotment for Advanced Mathematics Pathways and Certain Programs of Study. Districts are eligible for annual allotment of $10 per student enrollment that offers the pathway or program of student if the high school students take progressively more advanced math courses and for each completed pathway or program of study. The bill extends the Formula Transition Grant expiration to the 2029-30 school year. The bill creates the Salary Transition Allotment. For 2023-24 and 2024-25 school year, school districts would receive allotment equal to the difference between: the difference of the amount paid (calculated by TEA) to employees under new proposed minimum salary schedule and amount paid under the previous schedule, subtracting certain employer contributions and the difference between total M&O revenue (calculated by TEA) under the previous basic allotment amount of $6,160. Districts would be entitled to the allotment amount equal to 2/3 of the allotment in 2026-27 and 1/3 of the allotment in 2027-28. The allotment expires September 1, 2029. Sections of the Article (changes for the 2023-24 school year) would take effect immediately if it received the requisite two-thirds votes of all members in each house. Otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2023. Sections that change the Basic Allotment, Small and Mid-sized Allotment, Transportation Allotment, and Formula Transition Grant take effect September 1, 2023. The bill would also make several changes to the 2024-25 school year. The bill would change the following Foundation School Program Allotments to be based on average enrollment (currently ADA): Schools Facilities Allotment, Existing Debt Allotment, Bilingual Education Allotment, Career and Technology Education Allotment, Public Education Grant Allotment, Early Education Allotment, and Dropout Recovery School and Residential Placement Facility Allotment. Additionally, the bill would increase the Compensatory Education Allotment weight to 0.2755 for students that do not have a disability and redecides with a residential placement facility. The bill increases SCE tier weights to by 0.0005 to 0.2255, 0.238, 0.2505, 0.263, and 0.2755. If data is insufficient for any school year to evaluate economic disadvantage in a census block group, district weight for SCE is 0.2255. The bill would also cap the Gifted and Talented Student Allotment at 5% of average enrollment. Article 2 (changes for the 2024-25 school year) would take effect September 1, 2024. |

HB 509 Bill Summary
As filed, this bill would direct the Agency to adopt and administer assessment instruments (other than end of course exams) as necessary to use for graduation requirements. A student entering the ninth grade for the first time beginning with the 2023-24 school year would be subject to graduation with these new testing requirements. Districts could select from the approved instruments. Students who fail to earn a satisfactory score would still be eligible for evaluation using an individual graduation committee with requirements similar to what is already in place for IGCs. The bill would also remove social studies as a required assessment in grade 8. A parent or guardian may request that students be exempted from the administration of an alternative assessment instrument as long as it does not interfere with federal law and would work with the student's ARD committee to determine if the student should be exempted. If the student is exempted, the student must be assessed in the applicable subject using an alternative assessment method, which would be developed by the commissioner in consultation with stakeholders. The criteria for the assessment method must include progress on the goals identified in the student's individualized education plan. If changes are made to the Every Student Succeeds Act to reduce the number or frequency of assessments required, then the state shall adopt rules reducing the number or frequency of assessments under state law. The Agency is directed to adopt alternative adaptive assessment instruments that a school district may administer in lieu of an assessment instrument. The alternative adaptive assessment must effectively measure each student's progress over time without regard to a student's age, grade level, or academic performance, evidence high content or concurrent validity, take no longer than 90 minutes to administer, provide immediate information and real-time reporting on student progress without requiring any additional data, syncing, or uploading by a teacher, and other criteria. In the event of a disaster, the Commissioner is directed to apply for a waiver of the ESSA requirement. Should the waiver not be granted by the USDE, then the assessments may be administered but may not be used to for evaluating school district or campus performance or to determine a student's qualification for promotion or graduation. The bill also would designate "specialized support campuses" which serve 90% or more student receiving special education services and take an alternative assessment or are unable to provide an authentic academic response on an assessment. The commissioner, in consultation with stakeholders would establish appropriate accountability rules to evaluate a specialized support campus. The commissioner would be required to report to state leaders on the effectiveness of evaluating specialized support campuses and any necessary recommendations by December 1, 2026.

Relating to the academic assessment of public school students. | As filed, this bill would direct the Agency to adopt and administer assessment instruments (other than end of course exams) as necessary to use for graduation requirements. A student entering the ninth grade for the first time beginning with the 2023-24 school year would be subject to graduation with these new testing requirements. Districts could select from the approved instruments. Students who fail to earn a satisfactory score would still be eligible for evaluation using an individual graduation committee with requirements similar to what is already in place for IGCs. The bill would also remove social studies as a required assessment in grade 8. A parent or guardian may request that students be exempted from the administration of an alternative assessment instrument as long as it does not interfere with federal law and would work with the student's ARD committee to determine if the student should be exempted. If the student is exempted, the student must be assessed in the applicable subject using an alternative assessment method, which would be developed by the commissioner in consultation with stakeholders. The criteria for the assessment method must include progress on the goals identified in the student's individualized education plan. If changes are made to the Every Student Succeeds Act to reduce the number or frequency of assessments required, then the state shall adopt rules reducing the number or frequency of assessments under state law. The Agency is directed to adopt alternative adaptive assessment instruments that a school district may administer in lieu of an assessment instrument. The alternative adaptive assessment must effectively measure each student's progress over time without regard to a student's age, grade level, or academic performance, evidence high content or concurrent validity, take no longer than 90 minutes to administer, provide immediate information and real-time reporting on student progress without requiring any additional data, syncing, or uploading by a teacher, and other criteria. In the event of a disaster, the Commissioner is directed to apply for a waiver of the ESSA requirement. Should the waiver not be granted by the USDE, then the assessments may be administered but may not be used to for evaluating school district or campus performance or to determine a student's qualification for promotion or graduation. The bill also would designate "specialized support campuses" which serve 90% or more student receiving special education services and take an alternative assessment or are unable to provide an authentic academic response on an assessment. The commissioner, in consultation with stakeholders would establish appropriate accountability rules to evaluate a specialized support campus. The commissioner would be required to report to state leaders on the effectiveness of evaluating specialized support campuses and any necessary recommendations by December 1, 2026. Effective date: This bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2023. | Introduced and referred to committee on House Public Education | https://www.moakcasey.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/blank.png | https://www.moakcasey.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/blank.png | https://www.moakcasey.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/blank.png | https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/History.aspx?LegSess=88R&Bill=HB509 | https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/BillStages.aspx?LegSess=88R&Bill=HB509 | https://capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/Text.aspx?LegSess=88R&Bill=HB509 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

HB 577 Bill Summary
As filed, this bill would repeal the state sales tax and other state taxes, and create a state value-added tax (VAT) of 6.72 percent.
The bill would repeal local governments' authority to levy local sales taxes and replace that with a local VAT. The combined local VAT rate cannot exceed 2.0 percent. Local governments could change their VAT rate through adoption of an ordinance. The bill would prohibit school districts from levying an M&O property tax rate. The bill would authorize school districts to levy a VAT, with a maximum rate of 0.5 percent. This would not be subject to the local government cap of 2.0 percent.

The bill would make significant changes to state aid and local share calculations under the Foundation School Program, though the specifics are not clearly outlined in the bill language. The bill also requires the state to provide financial assistance for any debt serviced by M&O taxes that is deemed "foundational" by the district. Districts would assume full financial responsibility for any bond classified as an "enrichment" bond. The bill would repeal recapture. The bill would require the Commissioner of Education and the Comptroller to complete various studies and actions to facilitate the administration of state and local VATs.

HB 890 Bill Summary
As passed by the Senate, the bill requires school boards to adopt a process in which the board has a duty to provide for an initial administrative hearing, an opportunity to appeal that decision following the initial hearing, and a resolution of the complaint not later than 120 days following the date of the initial complaint.
The Senate added several parental rights provisions from SB 8. The bill creates a new section in the Education Code to prohibit the infringement of parental rights and explicitly grants parents the right to direct the moral and religious upbringing of their children, make decisions regarding their child's education and requires parental consent prior to medical, psychological or psychiatric treatment of a child. The bill makes provisions for the transfer of a student to another district, allowing a district to deny the request to transfer if it is a t full student capacity or has more requests for transfers than availability. It sets out requirements by which a district must prioritize applications. It also lays out additional parental rights, and requires districts to develop a plan for parental participation in the district to improve parent-teacher cooperation; provide information to parents regarding their rights and options, including withholding students from activities and instruction; and specifies that parents have the right to choose the best educational setting for their child, including public, private or home school. The bill allows 25% of the parents of the students enrolled at a campus to request a review of instructional materials. It also requires a district to notify the parent of a student for whom there is a change to services provided as they relate to the student's mental, physical or emotional health, or if the district cannot provide a supportive learning environment for that student. It provides a specific prohibition on any district procedure that prohibits an employee from notifying parents about a student's well being and that encourages a student to withhold information from the student's parent. There is an exception if the disclosure of such information is deemed to result in the student suffering abuse or neglect. It also requires TEA, SBOE and SBEC to review and revise school counseling framework and standards, educator practices and professional conduct standards, and student services guidelines. There are also several provisions included to expand current protections related to student data privacy. It specifically restricts instruction regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. It establishes rules for a local process of reviewing classroom instructional materials. It allows regional ESCs and private educational service providers to be approved by the agency to conduct such a review for the district. It also requires each district to develop and maintain an instructional materials parent portal where parents may access all instructional materials adopted or used by the district. This bill would take effect Sept. 1, 2023. |

HB 1267 Bill Summary
As filed, this bill would direct the Agency to adopt and administer assessment instruments (other than end of course exams) as necessary to use for graduation requirements. A student entering the ninth grade for the first time beginning with the 2023-24 school year would be subject to graduation with these new testing requirements. Districts could select from the approved instruments. Students who fail to earn a satisfactory score would still be eligible for evaluation using an individual graduation committee with requirements similar to what is already in place for IGCs. The bill would also remove social studies as a required assessment in grade 8. A parent or guardian may request that students be exempted from the administration of an alternative assessment instrument as long as it does not interfere with federal law and would work with the student's ARD committee to determine if the student should be exempted. If the student is exempted, the student must be assessed in the applicable subject using an alternative assessment method, which would be developed by the commissioner in consultation with stakeholders. The criteria for the assessment method must include progress on the goals identified in the student's individualized education plan. If changes are made to the Every Student Succeeds Act to reduce the number or frequency of assessments required, then the state shall adopt rules reducing the number or frequency of assessments under state law. The Agency is directed to adopt alternative adaptive assessment instruments that a school district may administer in lieu of an assessment instrument. The alternative adaptive assessment must effectively measure each student's progress over time without regard to a student's age, grade level, or academic performance, evidence high content or concurrent validity, take no longer than 90 minutes to administer, provide immediate information and real-time reporting on student progress without requiring any additional data, syncing, or uploading by a teacher, and other criteria. In the event of a disaster, the Commissioner is directed to apply for a waiver of the ESSA requirement. Should the waiver not be granted by the USDE, then the assessments may be administered but may not be used to for evaluating school district or campus performance or to determine a student's qualification for promotion or graduation. The bill also would designate "specialized support campuses" which serve 90% or more student receiving special education services and take an alternative assessment or are unable to provide an authentic academic response on an assessment. The commissioner, in consultation with stakeholders would establish appropriate accountability rules to evaluate a specialized support campus. The commissioner would be required to report to state leaders on the effectiveness of evaluating specialized support campuses and any necessary recommendations by December 1, 2026. Effective date: This bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2023.

03/03/2023 | Relating to the academic assessment of public school students. | As filed, this bill would direct the Agency to adopt and administer assessment instruments (other than end of course exams) as necessary to use for graduation requirements. A student entering the ninth grade for the first time beginning with the 2023-24 school year would be subject to graduation with these new testing requirements. Districts could select from the approved instruments. Students who fail to earn a satisfactory score would still be eligible for evaluation using an individual graduation committee with requirements similar to what is already in place for IGCs. The bill would also remove social studies as a required assessment in grade 8. A parent or guardian may request that students be exempted from the administration of an alternative assessment instrument as long as it does not interfere with federal law and would work with the student's ARD committee to determine if the student should be exempted. If the student is exempted, the student must be assessed in the applicable subject using an alternative assessment method, which would be developed by the commissioner in consultation with stakeholders. The criteria for the assessment method must include progress on the goals identified in the student's individualized education plan. If changes are made to the Every Student Succeeds Act to reduce the number or frequency of assessments required, then the state shall adopt rules reducing the number or frequency of assessments under state law.

HB 1326 Bill Summary
As filed, this bill would direct the Agency to adopt and administer assessment instruments (other than end of course exams) as necessary to use for graduation requirements. A student entering the ninth grade for the first time beginning with the 2023-24 school year would be subject to graduation with these new testing requirements. Districts could select from the approved instruments. Students who fail to earn a satisfactory score would still be eligible for evaluation using an individual graduation committee with requirements similar to what is already in place for IGCs. The bill would also remove social studies as a required assessment in grade 8. A parent or guardian may request that students be exempted from the administration of an alternative assessment instrument as long as it does not interfere with federal law and would work with the student's ARD committee to determine if the student should be exempted. If the student is exempted, the student must be assessed in the applicable subject using an alternative assessment method, which would be developed by the commissioner in consultation with stakeholders. The criteria for the assessment method must include progress on the goals identified in the student's individualized education plan. If changes are made to the Every Student Succeeds Act to reduce the number or frequency of assessments required, then the state shall adopt rules reducing the number or frequency of assessments under state law. The Agency is directed to adopt alternative adaptive assessment instruments that a school district may administer in lieu of an assessment instrument. The alternative adaptive assessment must effectively measure each student's progress over time without regard to a student's age, grade level, or academic performance, evidence high content or concurrent validity, take no longer than 90 minutes to administer, provide immediate information and real-time reporting on student progress without requiring any additional data, syncing, or uploading by a teacher, and other criteria. In the event of a disaster, the Commissioner is directed to apply for a waiver of the ESSA requirement. Should the waiver not be granted by the USDE, then the assessments may be administered but may not be used to for evaluating school district or campus performance or to determine a student's qualification for promotion or graduation. The bill also would designate "specialized support campuses" which serve 90% or more student receiving special education services and take an alternative assessment or are unable to provide an authentic academic response on an assessment. The commissioner, in consultation with stakeholders would establish appropriate accountability rules to evaluate a specialized support campus. The commissioner would be required to report to state leaders on the effectiveness of evaluating specialized support campuses and any necessary recommendations by December 1, 2026. Effective date: This bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2023.

HB 1605 Bill Summary
As finally passed, this bill relates to the curation of instructional materials and technology; the adoption and revision of Texas Curriculum (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills: TEKS) and creates an allotment for the procurement of high-quality, instructional materials (HQIM).
More specifically, this bill establishes a rigorous curriculum vetting process that supports teachers in utilizing high quality, grade-level, instructional materials (HQIM) in the classroom, that cover 100% of the TEKS. This bill tackles recent study findings that only about 17% of Texas students are demonstrating mastery of grade-level content and that teachers are spending an unsustainable additional 7-10 hours per week, outside of the school day, on lesson planning and curation of resources. As such, HB 1605 and SB 2565 reduces the workload and strain on Texas teachers, and provides a well-structured, high-quality, and grade-level curriculum for all Texas teachers and students. This bill requires professional development and on-going implementation support for teachers to ensure an understanding of HQIM, curriculum literacy and embedded assessments as a mechanism for increasing teacher content knowledge while ensuring consistently rigorous instruction for all students, including those with disabilities, English Language learning needs, gifts and talents, etc. This bill also guarantees curriculum transparency for parents of students in Texas public schools by requiring publishers to post all materials used by schools online. Additionally, this bill also establishes a process by which a parent of a student may request an instructional materials review for a subject area their student is enrolled in. This bill authorizes the Texas Education Agency (“The Agency”) to purcha se instructional materials and technology and may extend the contract for the purchase of instructional materials and technology for use by school districts. These purchased HQIM are not required. The commissioner must also establish an annual process (to be approved by the SBOE) for reviewing instructional materials to ensure the materials are free from factual error, determine the quality of the materials, and ensure the essential knowledge and skills for the subject and grade level are covered by the materials. A school district is entitled to an allotment equal to $40 or a greater amount provided for appropriation, for each student enrolled in the district for costs incurred by the district to procure these instructional materials. Additionally, the agency is required to list high quality, Open Educational Resources (OER) and maintain them on the TEA website including the technological requirements. There is no cost associated with the OER, except for the cost of printing copies of the materials. The use of these OER materials is NOT required; however, if a school district decides to purchase the vetted adopted materials and/or utilize the vetted OER and instructional materials, the agency shall provide support including grants and developing standards for a district to conduct a review of current instructional materials and resources and to determine the extent to which a district’s current materials correspond with HQIM. To be eligible for use of the OER a school district must adopt an Open Educational Resource Instructional Material Transition Plan to assist and support with the transition. Finally, a school district is entitled to (may not exceed $20 per student) allotment for the costs incurred that year associated with the printing and shipping of open educational resources. Funds from both allotments would be credited to the instructional materials account rather than paid out through the FSP. Finally, this bill makes a number changes related to the curation of instructional materials including: Prohibits districts to require teachers to spend time creating or selecting instruction materials unless the contract specifies this duty; Protects teachers from disciplinary action related to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment if they use ONLY materials approved an on the maintained list by SBOE; Requires parent access to instructional materials 30 days before the school year starts and 30 days after the school year ends; Requires the district to establish a parent review process and a requirement that the board must conduct a review if 25% of parents request it; Requires districts to provide teachers with Tier 1 instructional materials, or state in the teacher contract that the materials are not provided; Allows TEA to purchase materials and technology for use by districts; Modifies the instructional materials review process by SBOE; Requires that districts using the OER develop a transition plan to prep teachers for using them; Directs TEA to develop a program to help schools maintain classroom teacher flexibility and to schedule instruction to give teachers sufficient planning time; Requires districts to certify annually that they provide instructional materials in a manner that protects children from obscene and harmful materials; requires annual reporting by districts on instructional materials used in the prior year; Limits the technology that can be purchased with TIMA $$ to tech necessary to access instructional materials; Exempts certain materials that have been reviewed by TEA from competitive bidding.

As engrossed, this bill states that board trustees may not refuse to admit a student based on the student's criminal, juvenile, or disciplinary history. Districts must promptly enroll eligible students released from an alternative education program. This may not be construed to prohibit the board or the board's designee from revoking admission of a student, refusing to admit a person under 18 whom the board to not required to admit, transferring a student in accordance with Section 25.0341 or 25.0342, or expelling a student or placing a student in a disciplinary alternative education program or a juvenile justice alternative education program as applicable. This does not apply to the inter-district transfer of a student under Subchapter B. No later than 5 instructional days after a student's release from an alternative education program, the campus administrator must hold a meeting to coordinate the student's enrollment and develop a transition plan to a regular educational environment. The coordination must include assistance and recommendations from the student's parent or a person standing in parental relation to the students and as needed, school counselors, school district peace officers, school resource officers, licensed clinical social workers, campus behavior coordinators, and classroom teachers who are or may be responsible for implementing the student's personalized transition plan. Campus special education administrators or other administrators responsible for overseeing the student's educational program or liaison officers may also be included. Before finalizing a personalized transition plan, the administrator shall provide to the student's parent or a person standing in parental relation to the student with a list of the people who will be assisting in the student's enrollment and transition, an opportunity to meet, either in person or remotely with the people included on the list, discuss any proposed assistance or recommendations for the student's transition and provide information regarding the student that may be useful in development the plan. The plan must include recommendations for the best educational placement of the student based on a review of the student's previous coursework, course credit earned, performance on any assessment instrument, and educational record, including a calculation of the number of course credits the student has earned toward graduation requirements and a description of appropriate courses in which the student should be placed. After the student has transitioned to a regular education environment, the campus administrator or designee must conduct reviews at the beginning of each semester and at the end of each school year of the student's progress toward the student's academic or career goals. As soon as practicable after completing a student's personalized transition plan, the administrator should provide an electronic or written copy of the plan to the student's parent or person standing in parental relation to the student.
School districts must adopt a policy that allows for credits successfully completed while at an AEP to be considered as successfully fulfilling credits for high school graduation to the extent possible. The policy may allow for partial credit, if determined appropriate by the district. Effective date: This bill would take effect immediately upon approval of two-thirds of each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2023. |

HB 1981 Bill Summary
As filed, this bill would eliminate the state end of course assessments and replace them with one or more assessment instruments. Students enrolled in fifth grade do not have to be administered a grade level assessment if the student is enrolled in a course intended above the student's grade level as long as the student will be tested using an instrument that aligns with the curriculum for the enrolled course. For students in grades 11 or 12 who have failed an end of course assessments before the replacement of the end of course exams, the individual graduation committee (IGC) shall consider the recommendation of the teacher of record for the subject and the student's course grade. The commissioner must identify a procedure for a school district to select the Iowa Assessments or other similar, available assessment instruments for the assessments of essential knowledge and skills annually in grades 3 through 8 in each federally required subject. Districts who select more than one instrument must uniformly administer to students in the district the same assessment instrument to satisfy the requirement for the same subject. The agency shall also provide for each federally required secondary level subject, including English, math, and science by identifying a procedure for a school district to select the SAT, the ACT, or any other nationally recognized, norm-referenced assessment. Districts shall select one or more assessments, but must also administer these uniformly to all students. If any changes are made to the Every Students Succeeds Act (ESSA) to reduce the number of required assessments, the State Board of Education shall reduce the state required assessments. The bill goes on to outline the phase-in process for the new assessments for students entering grade 9 in 2023-24 or repeating grade 9. Effective date: This bill would take effective immediately upon approval of two-thirds of each house; otherwise the bill would take effect September 1, 2023.

HB 2031 Bill Summary
As filed, this bill would remove the option for districts to place students in the classroom of a certified master, exemplary, or recognized teacher in the following school year in lieu of accelerated instruction for any student who fails an assessment instrument. It would remove the requirement for accelerated instruction for students who fail the grade 8 social studies assessment. It would reduce the required number of secondary assessments to only those as required by the Every Students Succeeds Act (ESSA). The agency may adopt end-of-course assessments for courses which do not require an end-of-course assessment but the results would not be subject to performance requirements. Any changes made to ESSA that reduces the number of required assessments would authorize the State Board of Education to reduce the state assessments accordingly. Effective date: This bill would take effect immediately upon approval of two-thirds of each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2023.

The school board would then direct the district to settle the legal proceeding or authorize the district to spend on fees exceeding the limit. Each month, TEA would be required to compile and post information reported to the agency for the preceding month by districts for legal fees exceeding $10,000. The commissioner would be permitted to adopt necessary rules. This bill would take effect immediately if it received the requisite two-thirds votes of all members in each house.

HB 2803 Bill Summary
This bill relates to programs that serve special education students’ needs including special education CHOICE defined as: a student may attend a public school in the district the student resides or may use a special education GRANT to attend another district, or accredited private school chosen by the student’s parent. A student is eligible to receive a special education grant if the parent determines that the student’s special education needs are not being met; the students’ average daily attendance and entitled allotment follows the student unless the local revenue (of chosen school) is greater than the guaranteed local revenue level but less than the level established under Section 48.257. Additionally, the district is entitled to additional facilities assistance if the district agrees to accept several students using a special education grant AND that number is at least 1% of the district’s average daily attendance for the preceding school year. The school district chosen by a student’s parent is entitled to accept or reject the application for the student to attend school in that district and may not charge tuition; for accredited private schools, the commissioner is charged with adopting rules for implementation considering the funding calculations of private school tuition. The comptroller is charged with establishing and administering the “special education grant account” in the state treasury (for which NO federal funds or Available school funds will be used to fund the program) and may only be used to award grants for the payment of tuition for enrollment of eligible students at qualifying schools (as stated above).

HB 3011 Bill Summary
As filed, this bill would direct the Agency to adopt and administer assessment instruments (other than end of course exams) as necessary to use for graduation requirements. A student entering the ninth grade for the first time beginning with the 2023-24 school year would be subject to graduation with these new testing requirements. Districts could select from the approved instruments. Students who fail to earn a satisfactory score would still be eligible for evaluation using an individual graduation committee with requirements similar to what is already in place for IGCs. The bill would also remove social studies as a required assessment in grade 8. A parent or guardian may request that students be exempted from the administration of an alternative assessment instrument as long as it does not interfere with federal law and would work with the student's ARD committee to determine if the student should be exempted. If the student is exempted, the student must be assessed in the applicable subject using an alternative assessment method, which would be developed by the commissioner in consultation with stakeholders. The criteria for the assessment method must include progress on the goals identified in the student's individualized education plan. If changes are made to the Every Student Succeeds Act to reduce the number or frequency of assessments required, then the state shall adopt rules reducing the number or frequency of assessments under state law. The Agency is directed to adopt alternative adaptive assessment instruments that a school district may administer in lieu of an assessment instrument. The alternative adaptive assessment must effectively measure each student's progress over time without regard to a student's age, grade level, or academic performance, evidence high content or concurrent validity, take no longer than 90 minutes to administer, provide immediate information and real-time reporting on student progress without requiring any additional data, syncing, or uploading by a teacher, and other criteria. In the event of a disaster, the Commissioner is directed to apply for a waiver of the ESSA requirement. Should the waiver not be granted by the USDE, then the assessments may be administered but may not be used to for evaluating school district or campus performance or to determine a student's qualification for promotion or graduation. The bill also would designate "specialized support campuses" which serve 90% or more student receiving special education services and take an alternative assessment or are unable to provide an authentic academic response on an assessment. The commissioner, in consultation with stakeholders would establish appropriate accountability rules to evaluate a specialized support campus. The commissioner would be required to report to state leaders on the effectiveness of evaluating specialized support campuses and any necessary recommendations by December 1, 2026. Effective date: This bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2023.

HB 3141 Bill Summary
As filed, the bill would allow public schools to continue providing virtual education under a new framework based on recommendations made by the Texas Commission on Virtual Education.
The bill establishes an approval and oversight process for districts that seek to establish a full-time virtual or full-time hybrid campus. The bill provides for additional requirements if the campus is operated by a third-party in partnership with the school district. The bill would base funding on virtual student FTEs multiplied by the attendance rate of the district's non-virtual students. The bill allows the commissioner to adjust these calculations if the state or region experience widespread declines in attendance rates. School districts are prohibited from requiring any student to receive virtual instruction, though charter school can require virtual or hybrid attendance. Students in 2nd grade or higher must have prior public school attendance. Military dependents of personnel who have been deployed are exempt from prior public requirement The bill requires that virtual students be able to participate in extracurricular activities and receive requisite special education education services. The bill prohibits schools from requiring a teacher to provide hybrid instruction concurrently or from having to teach virtually without receiving appropriate professional development/prior work experience. The bill repeals Chapter 30A of the Education Code, which relates to the Texas Virtual School Network. The bill allows current virtual school course providers to continue operating under the former Chapter 30A until the 2024-25 school year. Schools newly providing virtual courses under the provisions in the bill must meet certain requirements, including certifying to the commission that the course meets certain TEKS requirements and are appropriately rigorous for the grade level. This bill would take effect immediately if it received the requisite two-thirds votes of all members in each house. Otherwise, it would take effect Sept. 1, 2023. |

HB 3315 Bill Summary
As engrossed, this bill codifies an appeal process for parents by requiring all school board grievance procedures to provide for the following:
• A complaint to be filed in writing with the campus principal at which their student is enrolled. • If the principal does not grant the requested relief, an appeal on written request can be made to the superintendent. • If the superintendent does not grant the requested relief, an appeal can be made to the school board. • If the school board does not grant the requested relief, a notice must be sent to the parent regarding their right to file an appeal with the commissioner of education. This bill requires TEA to adopt a model grievance procedure for use by school districts to comply with all requirements under Ch. 26 (Parent Bill of Rights) and post the model grievance policy on their website along with general guidelines for how a parent may file a complaint or appeal a decision to the commissioner. Additionally, schools are required to provide notice to parents about the district grievance policy and the bill prohibits the policy from requiring a complaint be made in a specific period of time. The committee substitute to HB 3315 adds language stating that a complaint or grievance must be considered by the independent school board of trustees in a timely manner regardless of when the issue is presented if it is ongoing. In addition, the language details what must be included in the grievance process, that the resolution of the complaint must be provided no later than 120 calendar days after which the complaint was filed, and how the grievance will be resolved should the school board not reach a final decision by the end of 120 days. The word "resolution" is replaced with "final decision." Amendments included ensuring information on the grievance process is given to parents and English and in Spanish and ensures that if another violation is discovered during the investigative process, the board will open a separate and new investigation.

HB 3781 Bill Summary
As filed, this bill relates to special education in public schools including the special education allotment under the Foundation School Program, and education savings account program for certain children with disabilities. This bill also creates a “Retired Special Education Grant Program” to reimburse public schools for the cost of employer contributions for retirees of the Teacher Retirement System of Texas employed to teach special education. This bill also creates a new requirement for a school district’s Board of Trustees to discuss, at least once per year, in an open meeting the performance of student receiving special education services at the district or school.
Also created is a requirement for the state to develop a comprehensive system to ensure local compliance with state and federal special education laws, including a focus on maximizing student outcomes; the facilitation of interagency coordination, including the placement and monitoring of students with disabilities whose needs cannot be served in their resident districts. Regarding the annual BOT meeting on special education student performance, the state is charged with adopting a set of performance indicators for measuring and evaluating the quality of learning and achievement for students with special needs and must include performance on college, career or military readiness. For children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, at the very first initial ARD/IEP committee meeting, the district is charged with providing to the parents or guardians the contact for local intellectual and developmental disability authority including possible services or public benefits that may be available to the child. If at an ARD/IEP meeting, residential placement is discussed, the district is also charged with providing information to the parent or guardian about state supported living centers. These materials to be provided to the parent or guardian regarding the aforementioned topics, are to be created by the Health and Human Services Commission in collaboration with agency and stakeholders representing the full continuum of services within a residential placement option (disseminated to districts by TEA). For Early Childhood Special Education – the agency is charged with developing a comprehensive cyclical process and targeted risk-based process including criteria instruments for use in determining compliance. The agency is also charged with establishing a graduated process of sanctions that range in severity, to apply to districts for non-compliance including funds being withheld. Funding for Special Education services is to be adjusted to a “Tier of Intensity of Services Model” to be designated by commissioner rules. This bill sets an expiration date of September 1, 2026 related to required video cameras in special education classrooms.

This bill adds “Subchapter J: Education Savings Account Program” language which provides an “account” – meaning education savings account for a “child with a disability” meaning a child eligible to participate in a district’s special education program. The purpose of the education savings account are intended to: improve public schools and overall academic performance, promote efficiency, promote and preserve the liberties and rights of the people; and increase parental CHOICE in learning opportunities and supports. The bill charges the agency with establishing and administering the education savings account including ensuring that the information is readily available to parents of children with disabilities. This also charges the agency with providing information stating that private schools are not subject to laws regarding the provision of educational services in the same manner as a public school, and may not receive the disability services a child would be entitled to under federal and state law in a public-school including IDEA, FAPE, LRE, etc. Eligibility for participation in the Education Savings Account Program includes: a child with a disability, eligible to attend public school, and was enrolled in a public school in Texas for a period of at least 6 weeks….and may participate until the child graduates or is no longer eligible to attend public school.

Random auditing requirements are detailed, payment methods, and frequency, and the qualifications for suspension of an account. Limitations on amounts charged are detailed (a provider may not charge a child participating in the program an amount greater than the standard amount). If the commissioner obtains evidence of fraudulent account use, it will be referred to the attorney general. In order for an entity to be eligible to receive funds from this program a private school must be accredited by an accrediting entity for private schools in the state. Additional provider accountability measures are detailed…including licensing provisions, completing a national criminal history record review, etc. The commissioner’s determination is final and may not be appealed. Rules for implementation, and eligibility are outlined including measures to prevent fraud. The commissioner may also solicit and accept gifts, grants and donations for expenses related to the administration of the Education Savings Account program. Education code is amended to allow the commissioner, with the approval of the SBOE, to develop and implement a plan for the coordination of services for children with disabilities by each region service center for the purpose of providing appropriate services and/or expanding services including instructional & supplemental materials. In order to implement this section, the commissioner will develop a system to distribute funds to school districts or ESCs from the foundational school fund. This will also provide for a supplemental allowance for each student with a visual impairment and for each student with a serious visual disability and another medically diagnosed disability of a significantly limiting nature who is receiving special education. Education code is further amended by adding language that the commissioner shall define “enrollment” for funding purposes and calculating eligibility and funding amounts of allotments.

HB 3928 Bill Summary
As finally passed, this bill relates to a student’s eligibility for special education services, including dyslexia and related disorders. The bill specifies that if a K-12 student is at risk of having reading difficulty, dyslexia or a related disorder, the district may not delay an evaluation due to implementation of an intervention and if a student is evaluated and qualifies the district should continue to provide grade-level, Tier I, core reading instruction and appropriate tiered interventions (in addition to core instruction vs. replacing). Additionally, eligibility does NOT require a discrepancy between cognitive and academic functioning; Dyslexia and or related disorders can be determined based on “a preponderance of evidence” as long as the student meets the first prong of eligibility under IDEA. This act takes effect September 1, 2023.

Additionally, they must ensure that lottery gives priority to the following students (in this order) (1) resides with in the district, (2) is already enrolled as a transfer student in the district but completely the highest grade at their campus, (3) is a sibling of a student currently enrolled at a district campus, (4) is applying to a campus that is geographically closest to their house regardless of attendance zone, (5)receives special education services, (6) is in foster care, (7) is a dependent of a person employed at the receiving districts. Students many not be denied the ability to apply unless the district is at capacity, the student has been expelled or suspended from the origin school, has been placed in DAEP, or is subject to an ongoing disciplinary procedure that may result in suspension/daep placement/expulsion.

HB 4323 Bill Summary
This bill, as filed amends code relating to free, full-day PK. It provides (for a parent or guardian) the right to elect for a student to repeat PK, enroll in PK if they were eligible for PK the year prior and have not enrolled in K, and repeat the year before if they were in grades 1-3.
Furthermore, this bill charges districts to offer full-day PK, tuition free for any child who is three years of age (bill strikes through the language that a child must be "eligible" and must ID at least 15 or more children). Districts are not required to provide transportation for PK classes, but if provided can be included for funding purposes. These PK classes must comply with the HQ program standards for PK classes. Districts can be exempt from this requirement by the commissioner if they would be required to construct classroom facilities. (This next part seems inconsistent with the first part) Finally, the code is also amended to allow a school district to offer half-day and full-day PK classes on a tuition bases to children who are not eligible and provides details for the way in which to calculate ADA.

It provides (for a parent or guardian) the right to elect for a student to repeat PK, enroll in PK if they were eligible for PK the year prior and have not enrolled in K, and repeat the year before if they were in grades 1-3. Furthermore, this bill charges districts to offer full-day PK, tuition free for any child who is three years of age (bill strikes through the language that a child must be "eligible" and must ID at least 15 or more children). Districts are not required to provide transportation for PK classes, but if provided can be included for funding purposes. These PK classes must comply with the HQ program standards for PK classes. Districts can be exempt from this requirement by the commissioner if they would be required to construct classroom facilities. (This next part seems inconsistent with the first part) Finally, the code is also amended to allow a school district to offer half-day and full-day PK classes on a tuition bases to children who are not eligible and provides details for the way in which to calculate ADA.

HB 4402 Bill Summary
As filed: This bill would remove the requirement to pass exit-level assessment instruments for graduation. The bill would retroactively apply to students who failed to graduate before the 2023-24 school year due to a failure to perform satisfactorily on an end of course assessment or a state assessment previously required for graduation and who otherwise met all applicable requirements for graduation. The bill states that a district must provide a diploma to any former student who requests one and meets the requirements noted above, subject to any policies or procedures that the Agency may determine necessary. The Commissioner (not the SBEC) would prohibit participation in a university interscholastic league area, regional, or state competition on any day of the school week in which the primary administration of assessment instruments is the only day on which that assessment is administered. The bill goes on to require that prior to the start of the 2027-28 school year, the agency must adopt and incorporate an indicator that accounts for performance on physical fitness assessments. The agency may only collect the information necessary to implement this indicator. The agency can require districts to participate in a pilot for this indicator and districts and campuses must report the information required to develop and implement this indicator. The bill would drop grade 8 social studies, US History end of course exam, and English II as required state assessments. It would also shift the responsibility of establishing rules for administering these assessments from the State Board of Education (SBEC) to the Agency. The agency must develop and implement a transition plan to administer all assessment instruments as through-year assessments (with no less than 3 administrations in a school year) beginning with the 2027-28 school year. The plan must identify any changes needed to law or policy necessary to implement through-year assessments, evaluate the state's experience with through-year assessments, including any improvement in instructional support, and identify and evaluate actions to be taken to improve the administration of through-year assessments. The agency may require districts to participate in piloting through-year assessments including any necessary reporting. The bill would add to the Student Achievement domain indicators to a) account for extracurricular and cocurricular student success, b) account for parent and student satisfaction (piloting the requirements for this indicator prior to the 2027-28 school year), and c) account for performance on physical fitness assessments (as laid out in the bill above). The bill would remove former special education students, continuously enrolled students and mobile students as student groups in the Closing the Gaps domain. Any indicators used in academic accountability must be valid and reliable as determined both by the commissioner and peer review. Student performance on assessment instruments may contribute to no more than 60% of the score received by a campus serving grades 3-8 under any single domain and 40% for a campus serving grades 9-12. The commissioner must account for average wage levels and available work opportunities when developing the indicators. The agency would provide grants for planning and implementation of local accountability systems from funds appropriated. Effective date: This bill would take effect immediately upon two-thirds approval of each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2023.

HB 4429 Bill Summary
As filed, the bill would create a new property tax exemption under Chapter 312 of the Tax Code that would apply to school districts, which are currently ineligible to grant new Chapter 312 tax abatements.
Under the new Subchapter D, the governing body of a school district would be required to grant a tax abatement for M&O taxes for a natural gas electric facility that is classified as a "power system reliability project," with an appraised value of at least $1 billion. The duration of the tax abatement would be 10 years with a $30 million limitation amount and it would begin the first date of the tax year the project begins to achieve commercial operations. The abated value would be deducted from the state property value study under Section 403.302 of the Government Code, which would presumably trigger offsetting state aid or reduced recapture costs for the school district granting the required abatement. |

HB 4514 Bill Summary
As filed: This bill would eliminate grade 8 social studies and the US History end of course exam. It also states that no more than 50% of the student achievement domain can be determined by assessment instruments and no more than 50% of the Closing the Gaps Domain can be determined using the academic achievement component (which is comprised of assessments). It would add additional indicators to the Student Achievement Domain: 1) an indicator that accounts for the number of students who successfully complete courses in the enrichment curriculum, 2) an indicator that accounts for students who participate in school-sponsored extracurricular and cocurricular students activities, taking into consideration the duration, intensity, and levels of engagement required, 3) an indicator that accounts for the results from the state-developed school and student safety survey of districts and campuses, 4) an indicator that accounts for the efforts by district and campuses relating to providing teacher mentoring programs and professional development opportunities that meet standards established by SBEC, 5) an indicator that accounts for students who are not in attendance fewer than 15 days during the school year. For elementary and middle school campuses, include indicators that account for: 1) students participation in full-day prekindergarten programs for campuses that serve students enrolled in preK, 2) students in grades 6-8 who successfully complete and receive credit for a course designated for a grade higher than the grade enrolled, and 3) students in grades 6-8 who successfully complete a career and technology course approved for purposes of the career and technology allotment. These indicators for elementary and middle school performance would also carry over to the Closing the Gaps domain. This bill would create a school and student safety and climate survey (to be used as an indicator in accountability as noted above). The commissioner would adopt rules to implement this survey including the format, questions, timing, and administration requirements. The commissioner could contract with a third party to provide any service necessary to implement the survey. The bill declares that beginning with the 2023-24 school year, overall campus and district ratings will be the highest of the three domain performance ratings. Effective date: This bill would take effect immediately upon approval of two-thirds of each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2023.

HB 4691 Bill Summary
As filed: Students who are in the foundation school program would be administered end of course exams for any courses that have end of course exams, but the results would be used only for the purpose of diagnosing the academic strengths and deficiencies of the student and in guiding specific instruction to the student. The results may not be used as a requirement for graduation. In the student achievement domain, no more than 50% of the domain performance may be attributed to assessment instruments and no more than 50% of the Closing the Gaps Domain may be attributed to the Academic Achievement Component. The bill would add indicators that a) account for the number of students who successfully courses in the enrichment curriculum, b) account for students who participate in school-sponsored extracurricular and cocurricular activities, taking into consideration the duration, intensity and levels of engagement in the activities, c) an indicator that accounts for the results from a state-developed school and student safety survey, d) an indicator that accounts for the efforts relating to providing teacher mentoring programs and professional development opportunities, and e) an indicator that accounts for student who are not in attendance fewer than 15 days during the current school year. To satisfy College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR), the bill would add students who successfully complete at least one endorsement, students who earn micro-credentials or credentials of value as defined by SBEC, and grade 9 students who have completed enough courses to be academically on-track to graduate with their grade 9 cohort. The school and student safety and climate survey would be administered to administrators, teachers, students, and parents. The commissioner would adopt rules to implement this survey including the format of the survey, the questions, the timing and authorize the manner in which the survey may be administered, including the local administration of the survey. The commissioner may contract with a third party to provide any service necessary to develop and implement this survey. The bill would eliminate overall ratings for campuses and districts. Effective date: This bill would take effect immediately upon approval of two-thirds of each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2023.

HB 4807 Bill Summary
As filed, the bill would create the "Texas Parental Empowerment Program, which would use state funds and insurance premium tax credits to provide vouchers for certain eligible students.
The bill would require that the Comptroller transfer an amount equal to average M&O expenditures per ADA in the preceding year into each eligible student's account. Based on budgeted expenditures reported in 2021-22, this would be around $10,725. The bill also allows certain entities to receive an insurance premium tax credit equal to their contribution to the empowerment program fund or their tax liability. Total credits would be limited to $200 million in FY 2024. The bill provides a formula for total credit limits in subsequent years. The credits cannot be transferred to another taxpayer. The bill requires that the comptroller transfer applicable amounts from the Foundation School Fund to fund accounts for eligible students who attended public school in the prior year, are entering kindergarten, or are currently participating in the program. The comptroller would rely on general revenue and contributions used to generate insurance premium tax credits to fund accounts for those students who had not previously been attending public schools. The bill allows funds deposited into these accounts to be spent on tuition and fees, textbooks, computers, tutors, therapies, curriculum for home-schooled students, transportation and more. Funds cannot be used to pay certain individuals related to the student or a member of their household. The bill allows unused funds to rollover into the following school year. Students may use previously deposited funds after graduation from high school. The bill requires that private schools provide certain notices to parents of special education students upon application. The bill requires that the Comptroller certify no more than three educational assistance organizations that would help administer the program by verifying the child's eligibility and the use of funds in their account. The bill would also establish a parental review committee to preapprove providers eligible to accept payment from students' program accounts. The bill would take effect January 1, 2024. As a result, fiscal impacts to the state would largely begin in the 2025 fiscal year. JH |

The comptroller would rely on general revenue and contributions used to generate insurance premium tax credits to fund accounts for those students who had not previously been attending public schools. The bill allows funds deposited into these accounts to be spent on tuition and fees, textbooks, computers, tutors, therapies, curriculum for home-schooled students, transportation and more. Funds cannot be used to pay certain individuals related to the student or a member of their household. The bill allows unused funds to rollover into the following school year. Students may use previously deposited funds after graduation from high school. The bill requires that private schools provide certain notices to parents of special education students upon application. The bill requires that the Comptroller certify no more than three educational assistance organizations that would help administer the program by verifying the child's eligibility and the use of funds in their account. The bill would also establish a parental review committee to preapprove providers eligible to accept payment from students' program accounts. The bill would take effect January 1, 2024. As a result, fiscal impacts to the state would largely begin in the 2025 fiscal year. JH |

This bill relates to a study by TEA on the current funding formula for special education services and the “allotment” under the Foundation School Program which has resulted in a significant shortfall in that the funding provided for school districts to provide required special education services has come close to covering those costs.

Some specifics include: • Established tiers of intensity of services (weights) based on educational (instructional) arrangements and the level of specialized services required to meet a student’s IEP. • Provides an amount of funding per student based on the tier of intensity of services appropriate for the student.

SB 5 Bill Summary
As engrossed, this bill would increase the $2,500 tangible personal property exemption to $25,000. The bill includes certain provisions on providing this exemption if the taxpayer has property across multiple locations.
On the M&O side, removing this value off the tax roll would largely be offset by increased state aid/reduced recapture. On the I&S side, however, most school districts would need to levy a higher tax rate to maintain the same level of tax collections. The bill would also create a franchise tax credit for property taxes paid on inventory. The bill would take effect January 1, 2024, contingent on the approval by voters of a constitutional amendment (SJR 3) authorizing the legislature to grant the exemption. |

SB 8 Bill Summary
As filed, SB 8 creates a new section in the Education Code to prohibit the infringement of parental rights and explicitly grants parents the right to direct the moral and religious upbringing of their children, make decisions regarding their child's education and requires parental consent prior to medical, psychological or psychiatric treatment of a child.
The bill makes provisions for the transfer of a student to another district, allowing a district to deny the request to transfer if it is at full student capacity or has more requests for transfers than availability. It sets out requirements by which a district must prioritize applications. It also lays out additional parental rights, and requires districts to develop a plan for parental participation in the district to improve parent-teacher cooperation; provide information to parents regarding their rights and options, including withholding students from activities and instruction; and specifies that parents have the right to choose the best educational setting for their child, including public, private or home school. The bill allows 25% of the parents of the students enrolled at a campus to request a review of instructional materials. It also requires a district to notify the parent of a student for whom there is a change to services provided as they relate to the student's mental, physical or emotional health, or if the district cannot provide a supportive learning environment for that student. SB 8 provides a specific prohibition on any district procedure that prohibits an employee from notifying parents about a student's well being and that encourages a student to withhold information from the student's parent. There is an exception if the disclosure of such information is deemed to result in the student suffering abuse or neglect. It also requires TEA, SBOE and SBEC to review and revise school counseling framework and standards, educator practices and professional conduct standards, and student services guidelines. There are also several provisions included to expand current protections related to student data privacy. The bill lays out a specific process for local grievances and requires that parents are notified of their rights under the process. It is laid out as follows: the parent files a grievance with the principal, who has 14 days to resolve the grievance to the satisfaction of the parent who submitted it or explain why it cannot be resolved; if the principal fails to solve the issue, it is elevated to the superintendent, who has 30 days to resolve the grievance to the satisfaction of the parent who submitted it or explain why it cannot be resolved; if the superintendent fails to solve the issue, it is elevated to the Board, resolve the grievance to the satisfaction of the parent who submitted it or explain why it cannot be resolved; if the Board fails to resolve the issue, the parent may request that the commissioner appoint a hearing examiner and the commissioner must do so and the examiner must make a recommendation to the SBOE within 60 days. It also provides that if five grievances are reviewed by a hearing examiner within 1 year, the superintendent must appear before the SBOE to testify regarding the issue. Lastly, the Attorney General may receive a grievance if a district fails to notify a parent regarding a change in a student's medical or mental health services; if an employee conducts a psychological screening of a student; or if a parent believes a child has been exposed to sexually explicit material. SB 8 specifically restricts instruction regarding sexual orientation and gender identity. It establishes rules for a local process of reviewing classroom instructional materials. It allows regional ESCs and private educational service providers to be approved by the agency to conduct such a review for the district. It also requires each district to develop and maintain an instructional materials parent portal where parents may access all instructional materials adopted or used by the district. SB 8 creates an education savings account program, to be funded by state general revenue and grants or donations. It provides for the Comptroller to certify one or more "educational assistance organizations" (EAO) which would accept and process applications for the program, connect students to education service providers and vendors of educational services, and verify the program funding is used only for approved education purposes. To be eligible, a child would need to be eligible to attend a public school and one of the following: be currently enrolled in public school, have attended public school for at least 90% of the preceding year; or be enrolling in pre-k or kindergarten for the first time. If the EAO has more applications than available funding, 2/3 of applications would be prioritized for those students enrolled in campuses that are rated C, D or F and the other 1/3 would prioritize students from A and B campuses. To participate, a parent must agree to spend the funds only for eligible education expenses and each student would qualify for $8000/year. A school district under 20,000 total enrollment that has a student leave to participate in this program would be funded for that student at $10,000 per year for 2 years after the student leaves the district. Eligible expenses include tuition and fees for a private school; textbooks; costs related to assessments; fees for transportation; fees for educational therapies or services that are not covered by private insurance, CHIP or Medicaid. There is a nepotism prohibition. These funds are not monitored individually but are subject to random audits. Should a recipient be found in violation of the approved expenses, the account will be suspended and the comptroller will notify the recipient, who has 30 days to respond and take corrective action. If it is not corrected, the comptroller may close the account and seek to recover funds that were misused from the recipient. In order to be eligible, a private school would need to be accredited by the Tx Private School Accreditation Commission or the TEA and would have to annually administer a nationally norm-referenced assessment. Public schools would be eligible if they are able to provide a student with services or products that are not counted in their ADA. Private tutors, therapists or teaching services would have to be accredited, licensed or employed by or retired from a teaching or tutoring capacity at a higher ed provider. They would also need to pass a criminal background check. Any higher education provider could qualify with accreditation. Other providers could qualify by presenting necessary qualifications. There is a specific prohibition on home schools or learning pods from qualifying. The bill specifies that any public or private source may solicit and accept gifts and grants for the program. The parental rights portion of the bill takes effect immediately if it receives a vote of 2/3 of each house. The education savings account portion of the bill takes effect September 1, 2023. GA |

SB 176 Bill Summary
As filed, the bill would create the "Texas Parental Empowerment Program, which would use state funds and insurance premium tax credits to provide vouchers for certain eligible students.
The bill would require that the Comptroller transfer an amount equal to average M&O expenditures per ADA in the preceding year into each eligible student's account. Based on budgeted expenditures reported in 2021-22, this would be around $10,725. The bill also allows certain entities to receive an insurance premium tax credit equal to their contribution to the empowerment program fund or their tax liability. Total credits would be limited to $200 million in FY 2024. The bill provides a formula for total credit limits in subsequent years. The credits cannot be transferred to another taxpayer. The bill requires that the comptroller transfer applicable amounts from the Foundation School Fund to fund accounts for eligible students who attended public school in the prior year, are entering kindergarten, or are currently participating in the program. The comptroller would rely on general revenue and contributions used to generate insurance premium tax credits to fund accounts for those students who had not previously been attending public schools. The bill allows funds deposited into these accounts to be spent on tuition and fees, textbooks, computers, tutors, therapies, curriculum for home-schooled students, transportation and more. Funds cannot be used to pay certain individuals related to the student or a member of their household. The bill allows unused funds to rollover into the following school year. Students may use previously deposited funds after graduation from high school. The bill requires that private schools provide certain notices to parents of special education students upon application. The bill requires that the Comptroller certify no more than three educational assistance organizations that would help administer the program by verifying the child's eligibility and the use of funds in their account. The bill would also establish a parental review committee to preapprove providers eligible to accept payment from students' program accounts. The bill would take effect January 1, 2024. As a result, fiscal impacts to the state would largely begin in the 2025 fiscal year. JH |

SB 245 Bill Summary
As filed, this bill amends the Education Code and laws related to disciplinary management and telehealth mental health services. The bill amends the Education Code to provide teachers and schools with additional tools to address students who engage in dangerous or disruptive behaviors on or within 300 feet of a school building. The bill amends Section 37.002, Education Code, to allow for a teacher to remove a student from their class who repeatedly interferes with teacher's ability to communicate with the class, whose behavior is unruly, disruptive, or abusive after a single incident. The bill also prohibits the principal from returning the student to that teacher's classroom without the teacher's consent unless the committee established under Section 37.003 determines that placement of the student back in the classroom is the best or only available alternative.
The bill also requires a student to be removed from class and placed in a disciplinary alternative program if the student engages in a false alarm or report of a threat, engages in conduct that contains offensive or threatening communication or obscenities. The bill also requires a student to be expelled from school if the student engages in conduct involving a terroristic threat under Section 22.07, Penal Code, or if the student, within 300 feet of school, engages in conduct against a school district employee or volunteer that is punishable by a felony. The bill requires a single person at each campus to be designated the campus behavior coordinator and authorizes additional school staff members to assist the campus coordinator. The coordinator is required to monitor disciplinary referrals, report to the campus's threat assessment and safe and supportive school team (established under Section 37.115) any student who engages in conduct that contains elements of the offense of terroristic threat, unlawfully carrying weapons, and report any concerning student behaviors or behavior trends that may pose serious risk of violence to the campus threat assessment team and the iWatchTexas community reporting system operated by the Texas DPS. The bill also requires a school district, if resources are made available from the Texas Child Mental Health Consortium, to offer each student enrolled in the district access to those mental health services. Written consent from the parent or legal guardian is required for a student under 18 years of age to receive mental health services from the district. The bill prohibits the Texas Education Agency (TEA) from imposing any penalties or withholding any funding from a district based on the number of students in the district that have been removed from the classroom. The TEA is required to identify school districts that have access to the telemedicine program and verify that each of those school districts is in compliance. If passed, this bill becomes effective September 1, 2023. |

SB 294 Bill Summary
As finally passed, the bill would expand the authorization of school personnel and volunteers that may provide respiratory distress medication, like albuterol. An advisory committee would advise on the training for personnel and volunteers to administer the medication. The bill would remove the requirement that a school nurse must have written notification from a parent or guardian that a student has been diagnosed as having asthma.
Schools would be required to refer the student to the student’s primary care physician on the day medication is administered and inform the student’s parent or guardian of the referral, if the school does not have notification from the student’s parent or guardian on an asthma diagnosis. Schools would be required to report specific information within 10 days on the administration of the medication for respiratory distress. Each school adopting the policy would be responsible for training school personnel and volunteers to administer the medication. The bill would also permit individuals who act in good faith in administering, ordering, supervising, processing, prescribing, or dispending any respiratory distress medication, to be immune from civil or criminal liability or disciplinary action. This bill takes effect immediately. |

SB 960 Bill Summary
As filed, the bill would create a "taxpayer savings grant program" that would reimburse families for private school tuition paid on behalf of eligible students.
To be eligible for the reimbursement, the student would have had to attend public schools for the entire school year prior to their moving to a private school. Rising kindergarteners and 1st graders are exempt from that requirement. Home schooled children would not be eligible for any reimbursement. The bill does provide for a limit to the reimbursement. It is not clear how TEA would implement the language, but per ADA charter funding for 2022-23 is estimated to be around $11,050. The bill would limit the reimbursement to 60 percent of that amount, which would be around $6,630. The program would be administered by the comptroller's office. The TEA commissioner would be required to reduce district funding in line program participation data provided by the comptroller. The bill would take effect September 1, 2023. JH |

SB 1225 Bill Summary
This bill, as filed relates to policy and procedure changes for students with certain special needs (students with an inability or lack of capacity to make educational, medical and/or financial decisions). Definitions are clarified for the term “parent” (to be consistent with Federal IDEA); and the difference between special education instruction & related services (as related services is intended to “support” instruction).
If the student is 18 years of age, the parent or “agent” (under power of attorney), or the student appointed educational representative must have the student’s consent to participate in educational decision-making including plans for post-secondary level coursework. A person in an impartial due process hearing may be represented by (adds the following language) a parent for a person younger than 18 years of age; an agent under power of attorney; a supporter under a “supported” decision-making agreement; or an educational representative appointed. The agency (TEA) may not regulate the appointment or selection of an educational representative and has no jurisdiction over an issue concerning the capacity of an adult student. All rights accorded to parents under this subchapter transfer to the student or if applicable to the agent under power of attorney or the educational representative appointed. No later than one year prior to a student’s 18th birthday (student with a disability) the school district the student is enrolled in shall provide to the student and the parents written notice regarding the transfer of rights……and include power of attorney for educational decision making, the appointment for special education decision-making, the appointment of an educational representative…that may enable the student to live independently. To certify that a student does not have the ability to provide informed consent a professional must be a licensed physician, a licensed physician assistant, licensed clinical psychologist, licensed clinical social worker or licensed specialist in school psychology and may not be an employee of the school district or have any interests that conflict with the interests of the student. The bill also clarifies whom may serve as a student’s educational representative in the event the parent is unavailable, including details as to the process and timeline for educational documentation including the process to follow if a student expresses disagreement with an informed consent or any educational decisions made by the student’s educational representative acting on the student’s behalf. The professional who provides this certification must provide a copy to both the student and student’s parents or person standing in parental relation to the student. The certification must be provided annually; a student’s reevaluation may be used to request the recertification. Finally, this bill charges the commissioner with developing and posting the agency’s model forms for certification and rules for implementation and compliance with FERPA. TRW |

SB 1396 Bill Summary
This bill provides the board of trustees of a school district or open-enrollment charter school (not affiliated with a religious organization) the ability to adopt a policy that requires every campus of the district to provide students and employees with an opportunity to participate in a period of prayer and Bible reading on each school day.
This policy must prohibit: a student or employee from being permitted to participate unless the employee or student or guardian submits to the district a signed consent form that includes: A: An acknowledgement that the student or employee has a choice as to whether or participate…B: A statement that the person has no objection to the participation in or hearing of the prayers or Bible readings offered; and C: An express waiver of the person’s right to bring a claim forward under state or federal law arising out of the adoption of this policy….which forever releases the school district from all claims. This bill also prohibits a prayer or Bible reading over a public address system. An employee or parent may revoke the person’s consent by: informing the school administrator, and no student whose consent has been withdrawn may continue participating until a new consent form is executed. This bill also stipulates that the policy provides a period of prayer and Bible reading that includes provisions ensuring a prayer or Bible reading is not provided in the physical presence or within the hearing of a person for whom a signed consent form has not been submitted or has been revoked. In order to comply with the Article III of the Constitution this policy may require that the period of prayer and Bible reading be provided: before normal school hours; only in classrooms or other areas in which a consent form has been submitted or by another other method recommended by the AG. The AG must also (on request from a board) provide advice on the best methods for a district or school to comply; provide a model consent form and may defend the district or school in a cause of action arising out of the adoption of this policy.

SB 1474 Bill Summary
This bill relates to a special education allotment (under FSP), an educational savings account program for certain children with disabilities and a grant program to reimburse public schools for the cost of certain employer contributions for retirees of the TRS employed to teach SPED.
More specifically, this bill amends Education Code to requires each regional education service center to maintain “core services” for purchase by school districts and campuses. Core services are defined as: training and assistance in teaching each subject area assessed; providing instruction in personal financial literacy; training and assistance for each program that qualifies for a funding allotment; assistance for a school district or campus with an unacceptable rating; training and assistance to teachers, admin, BOTs and members of site-based decision-making committees; specifically designed assistance for a school district out of compliance with Federal or State SPED requirements; assistance in compliance with state laws and rules. Related to SPED law, this bill specifies that the agency (TEA) shall develop, revise a comprehensive system (provision of services) to ensure statewide and local compliance with federal and state laws related to SPED with a focus on maximizing student outcomes. This includes additional activities: rule making, assistance, guidance documents, monitoring protocols, and other resources…related to SPED; the facilitation of interagency coordination; the pursuit of SPED personnel and related services personnel…ensuring regional educational service center support; and TEA shall monitor and periodically conduct site visits of all school districts to ensure compliance with rules and laws specifically: training and technical assistance so that appropriately trained personnel are involved in the diagnostic and evaluative procedures; IEPs are properly developed and implemented in the LRE, each student has an opportunity to participate in CTE & PE classes; has necessary related services and has an individual assigned to act as a surrogate parent for a child with a disability (and has been trained as to the requirements and responsibilities of serving in this role). This bill specifies that at least once a year, the BOT or governing body of an open-enrollment charter school is required to hold a public meeting on the performance of students receiving special education services and address a set of performance indicators (to be developed by TEA) for measuring and evaluating the quality of learning and achievement, including the performance on indicators of CCMR. This long bill also charges the agency to develop specific eligibility criteria “in accordance with federal law”. Related to local intellectual and developmental disability authority, the initial IEP meeting the school is charged with providing information to the parents regarding the local intellectual and developmental disability authority for the region in which the district is located for the purposes of discussing services or public benefits that may be an additional support for the student. For the provision of residential treatment for students with a disability, the commissioner is charged with establishing a list of approved public or private facilities, or agencies inside or outside the state. The bill has language re: payment formula recommendations (for private/public residential facilities) for the local share costs for a residential placement, which will expire 9-1-27. This bill changes Early Childhood Pre-School to Early Child Special Education (ECSE). This bill charges the agency with developing a comprehensive system for monitoring school district compliance with federal and state law and this monitoring system must include a cyclical process and a targeted risk-based process and include data from parents and teachers in special education programs. As a part of the monitoring process, the agency will have to develop a system of “graduated” interventions and sanctions for school districts not in compliance which may include withholding funds. The basic allotment for a student enrolled in a district and receives special education will be adjusted by the “tier of intensity of service” designated by commissioner rule. And, in order to promote student safety (and when requested)…a school or campus shall place, operate and maintain one or more video cameras in special education classrooms (bill defines a special education classroom or setting) and other special settings….including areas in the room or a room attached and used for time-out. Supports for recruiting all SPED staff will include a GRANT to assist districts in incentivizing staff to become licensed, certified, or credentialed…. The agency is directed to create a Parent Directed program for services for students with special needs through which a parent may direct supplemental services to include instructional materials, OT, PT, Speech services, etc., and private tutoring, etc. A student may receive this grant twice – once below grade 6 and again, between 7-12th grades. The agency shall establish criteria and approval including a procurement process for providers of supplemental services…a student’s ARD committee will need to consider the need for supplemental services, etc. Texas School for the Deaf MOU was tweaked to add that the required reporting must include the percentage of the instructional day (on average) the child spends in a general education setting… Education Savings Account Program (a savings account established for a child with a disability, eligible to participate in a school district’s special education program).The purpose of the ESA is to: improve public schools and overall academic performance, promote efficiency, preserve the liberties and rights of the people, increase parental choice in learning opportunities and supports. The agency shall establish and administer the ESA program including ensuring that information about the program is readily available to parents of children with disabilities….including a notice that a private school is not subject to laws regarding the provision of educational services in the same manner as a public school; provides info regarding rights to which a child with a disability is entitled under federal and state laws include IDEA, IEPs, LRE, instructional from a certified teacher, the right to due process, transition and planning services, supplementary aids & services, etc. Also included in this bill is language about the agency needing to develop consequences for the use of the money in an ESA on expenses that are not allowed…The bill goes on and on to define an ESA “eligible child” and the Enrollment in the program, Participation in the program requirements and agreements, Approved Education-Related Expenses…and defines what can be done with any money left in a student’s account (roll to over each year) and after graduation from high school. The amount of the grant a parent of an eligible child to receive is the sum: $7, 250 in addition to $1,500 if the child is “educationally disadvantaged” and an additional $1,400 if the child has not previously participated in a school district SPED program. IF a child HAS participated previously in a SPED program, then the amount is the funding for SPED services for that child. Administration of accounts is detailed including the charge to conduct random auditing of ESAs. Consequences for inappropriate use includes the suspension of account and specifies that the commissioner may recover funds distributed under the program that were used for expenses not allowed. The bill also defines “limitations” on amounts charged including restricted actions such as: charging a child participating in the program a greater amount that the standard charged; increase the amount charged, etc..and fraudulent account use can be referred to the AG. In order to receive funds, the private school must be accredited, must provide a full load of courses, provide licensed or accredited staff, complete a criminal history record, etc. The bill also details program participants, providers and vendors, Student records and information procedures, gifts, grants and donations allowances. The MOU for the Texas School for the blind and visually impaired is amended to add an additional allotment for any student in this category who spends time in CTE courses, or in a SPED setting (other than general education) …and the allotment formula is detailed. The commissioner is charged with defining SEVEN Tiers of intensity of services and one of those tiers must be residential placements and day programs. A school district that provides an ESY program for the purposes for regression of skills is entitled to receive funds (the formula is detailed). No later than December 1st of each even-numbered year, the commissioner must submit to the LBB proposed weights for tiers of intensity of services for the next biennium. Additionally, a school district is entitled to an allotment entitled “Special Education Service Group” for each six-week period a student is in a SPED program; the commissioner is to establish four service groups. Additionally, districts are entitled to an allotment for each SPED FIE, and SPED Transition Funding. This section expires September 1, 2028. Outcomes bonuses are detailed, SPED transportation allocation of $1.13 per mile, unless appropriations designate something different and includes rules (districts must calculated based on the shortest mileage, etc.) The bill details a SPED certification allotment for anyone who becomes a classroom teacher or ED Diag in the amount of the certification fee. If the amount appropriated for the purposes of the FSP exceeds the amount districts are entitled to the commissioner may provide grants using the excess funding for purchasing video equipment, and/or increase special education service group allotment. Day Placement Program Funding is detailed. For each qualifying day placement program that an ESC makes available in partnership with a school district, charter or SSA, the center is entitled to an allotment of $250,000 for the first year of program’s operation, $150,000 for each year following. Definitions of a day-placement program and qualifying criteria are included. Finally, TEA is entitled to obtain criminal history record information about a person who is a private tutor or an employee of a teaching services who intends to provide services to a child participating in either the Parent-Directed Services for SPED grant or the ESA funding grant. |

SB 1539 Bill Summary
As filed, this bill would require any references to an "admission, review, and dismissal committee" or "ARD committee" (for all state agencies) be changed to "individualized education program team" or "IEP team" as this terminology is consistent with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
This bill also charges the agency to “lessen the adverse impact of the movement” (school to school) of students who are homeless or in transition care by ensuring records are available no later than the 10th working day after the date of enrollment, this may require entering an MOU with DFPS regarding the exchange of information. Overall, the agency is charged with developing a system to ease transition burdens for this population by creating procedures for: awarding credit- including partial credit if appropriate; ensuring the new school relies on decisions the former school made regarding placement, requires the receiving school to accept a referral for special education services from a previous placement while providing comparable services, facilitates access to extracurriculars, summer programs, after-school tutoring, dual-credit courses, electronic courses, and encourages school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to assist with applications for postsecondary study including funding and tuition and notification of fee exemptions. Finally, this bill charges the agency to develop a “Statewide Plan” consistent with federal law for all aspects of parent notification, the identification and delivery of services to children with disabilities including rules for the administration and funding so that FAPE is available to all children between the ages of 3-21. TRW Effective date: This bill would take effect September 1, 2023. |

SB 1664 Bill Summary
As filed, this bill would establish a School Safety Technical Advisory Committee that would advise the agency regarding a school safety accountability system. The committee would consist of 9 members appointed by state leaders based on specific qualifications. The governor would appoint a chief of school safety and security that would administer a school safety accountability program established by the agency. This person would have the authority to lower a school safety score based on a final audit report prepared by the agency. These decisions would be final. Each year, districts and campuses would complete audits based on very specific metrics designed by the agency in consultation with the advisory committee, the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at Texas State and other input. The bill outlines some specific metrics such as perimeter evaluation, exterior doors, glass in both exterior and interior doors, just to name a few. The agency would review every audit and would conduct onsite audits of at least 25% of campuses annually. The bill also would evaluate a school safety mobile Internet application if the district provides one. Every year by January 30th, the agency would assign a numerical school safety score based on audits that would fall into 3 categories: exceeds standards, meets standards, or does not meet standards. By March 1, the final ratings would be issued. Campuses not meeting the preliminary standard must specifically address improvements necessary in a campus remediation plan. Approved plans would require deadlines to implement the plan. As noted earlier, the chief of school safety and security has the sole authority to revise a safety rating. By August 15th, each school safety report card must be made available to the public. Effective date: This bill would take effect immediately upon approval of two-thirds of each house; otherwise the bill would take effect September 1, 2023.

As filed, the bill would allow public schools to continue providing virtual education under a new framework based on recommendations made by the Texas Commission on Virtual Education.
The bill establishes an approval and oversight process for districts that seek to establish a full-time virtual or full-time hybrid campus. The bill provides for additional requirements if the campus is operated by a third-party in partnership with the school district. The bill would base funding on virtual student FTEs multiplied by the attendance rate of the district's non-virtual students. The bill allows the commissioner to adjust these calculations if the state or region experience widespread declines in attendance rates. School districts are prohibited from requiring any student to receive virtual instruction, though charter school can require virtual or hybrid attendance. Students in 2nd grade or higher must have prior public school attendance. Military dependents of personnel who have been deployed are exempt from prior public requirement The bill requires that virtual students be able to participate in extracurricular activities and receive requisite special education education services. The bill prohibits schools from requiring a teacher to provide hybrid instruction concurrently or from having to teach virtually without receiving appropriate professional development/prior work experience. The bill repeals Chapter 30A of the Education Code, which relates to the Texas Virtual School Network. The bill allows current virtual school course providers to continue operating under the former Chapter 30A until the 2024-25 school year. Schools newly providing virtual courses under the provisions in the bill must meet certain requirements, including certifying to the commission that the course meets certain TEKS requirements and are appropriately rigorous for the grade level. This bill would take effect immediately if it received the requisite two-thirds votes of all members in each house. Otherwise, it would take effect Sept. 1, 2023. |

This bill, as filed requests to be cited as the “Beckley Wilson Act” and amends education code related to student eligibility for special education services, including services for dyslexia and related disorders. Specifically, this bill states a school may not delay an evaluation if a child is suspected of having a disability due to providing “intervention” (RtI) while the school: suspects a K-12 study has dyslexia or a related disorder; identifies a student as at risk for reading difficulties, including dyslexia and related disorders including other specific learning disability; remove a student from their assigned campus who exhibits academic difficulties in reading, written expression, spelling…or complex conditions and behaviors that could result from an undiagnosed learning disability.
A school district shall: seek parental consent for an FIIE that assesses for dyslexia and related disorders; assess for associated academic difficulties and other conditions that commonly affect students with dyslexia; include at least one member on the multidisciplinary eval team with specific knowledge regarding reading processes, dyslexia and related disorders including dyslexia instruction; continue to provide grade level, evidenced-base core reading instruction (Tier I) and provide appropriate tiered intervention. When a student is evaluated (FIIE) and found NOT to have dyslexia or a related disorder, a staff member knowledgeable about dyslexia and related disorders must co-sign the evaluation; the ID of dyslexia is based on “a preponderance of data” in the evaluation process which satisfies the criteria for a student to meet the first prong of eligibility under IDEA; in TX will qualify as a Specific Learning Disability without the required variance among specific areas (cognitive and academic). If as a result of a dyslexia diagnosis, the student needs additional instruction, the ARD committee will design an IEP that aligns with the Texas Dyslexia Handbook and ensure it is delivered with fidelity. If a parent or guardian declines the IEP, the school must submit a statement to TEA documenting the denial, etc., Districts shall employ a “licensed or certified” therapist, practitioner, specialist or interventionist for students with dyslexia or a related disorder (Literacy achievement academies do not count toward this credential).

As filed: This bill would change the requirements for accelerated instruction to only students who fail reading or math, and only in grades 3 through 7. A school district is only required to provide supplemental instruction if state or federal funds are provided or made available for this purpose. The instruction may be provided during instructional periods in the school day designated for supplemental instruction for the grade level in which the student is enrolled. A school district may not provide accelerated instruction to a student if the student's parent or guardian submits a written request to exempt the student from the instruction. An ALC would be established if a student fails to perform satisfactorily in two consecutive school years. The bill goes on to state that the commissioner must adopt indicators to measure performance for grades K through 8 and include indicators that are not based on assessments, comprehensively account for factors affecting the quality of learning and achievement in those grades, and for grades 9 through 12, include indicators that are designed to encourage alignment of education to career readiness. It must also include indicators for evaluating schools according to a school's success in equitably educating students across all campuses and achieving similar student outcomes for all students. The bill would remove overall ratings and instead would consider the highest rating in the three domains as the overall rating. Effective date: This bill would take effect immediately upon approval of two-thirds of each house; otherwise, the bill would take effect September 1, 2023.

As filed, establishes an Education Savings Account program which is comprised of general revenue, gifts and grants, and contributions to the fund for which an entity receives credit against its insurance premium.
It requires the comptroller to certify one educational assistance organization to administer the program. Eligible children include those eligible to attend public schools in Texas, who were either enrolled in a public school in the preceding year or are enrolling in a school in Texas for the first time, and are from a family with an income less than 200% of income guidelines for free & reduced price lunch program, are the sibling of a child who is in the program, were eligible to participate in the program in a prior year, have a disability or qualifies under the federal Rehabilitation Act, Section 504. The bill requires the prioritization of children who's families are at or below the income guidelines necessary to qualify for free & reduced price lunch. The Comptroller would approve education service providers or vendors to participate in the program and would be required to approve accredited private schools that administer a nationally norm-referenced test annually. Tutors, therapists and teaching services would also have to provide certifications/licensing and complete a criminal background check. Under the bill, approved education-related expenses include tuition and fees, instructional materials, costs related to assessments or cocurricular activities, transportation fees and fees for educational therapies. It prohibits funds from being used to pay a person who is a member of the student's household. Each student in the program would be funded at 90% of the state's average from the preceding year. Upon finding noncompliance, a participant's account would be frozen and the participant has 30 days to respond and take corrective action. If the comptroller finds there is misuse of the funds, the comptroller may try to recover those funds. This bill would take effect September 1, 2023. GA |

The bill also allows the Comptroller to conduct random auditing of the program. The bill requires that private schools provide certain notices to parents of special education students upon application. The bill also establishes certain legal rights for parents and participants in the ESA program to intervene in any action challenging the constitutionality of the program.

This bill, as filed relates to the curation of instructional materials and technology; the adoption and revision of Texas Curriculum (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills: TEKS) and creates an allotment for the procurement of high-quality, instructional materials (HQIM).
More specifically, this bill establishes a rigorous curriculum vetting process that supports teachers in utilizing high quality, grade-level, instructional materials (HQIM) in the classroom, that cover 100% of the TEKS. This bill tackles recent study findings that only about 17% of Texas students are demonstrating mastery of grade-level content and that teachers are spending an unsustainable additional 7-10 hours per week, outside of the school day, on lesson planning and curation of resources. As such, HB 1605 and SB 2565 reduces the workload and strain on Texas teachers, and provides a well-structured, high-quality, and grade-level curriculum for all Texas teachers and students. This bill requires professional development and on-going implementation support for teachers to ensure an understanding of HQIM, curriculum literacy and embedded assessments as a mechanism for increasing teacher content knowledge while ensuring consistently rigorous instruction for all students, including those with disabilities, English Language learning needs, gifts and talents, etc. This bill also guarantees curriculum transparency for parents of students in Texas public schools by requiring publishers to post all materials used by schools online. Additionally, this bill also establishes a process by which a parent of a student may request an instructional materials review for a subject area their student is enrolled in. This bill authorizes the Texas Education Agency (“The Agency”) to purcha se instructional materials and technology and may extend the contract for the purchase of instructional materials and technology for use by school districts. These purchased HQIM are not required. The commissioner must also establish an annual process (to be approved by the SBOE) for reviewing instructional materials to ensure the materials are free from factual error, determine the quality of the materials, and ensure the essential knowledge and skills for the subject and grade level are covered by the materials. A school district is entitled to an allotment equal to $40 or a greater amount provided for appropriation, for each student enrolled in the district for costs incurred by the district to procure these instructional materials. Additionally, the agency is required to list high quality, Open Educational Resources (OER) and maintain them on the TEA website including the technological requirements. There is no cost associated with the OER, except for the cost of printing copies of the materials. The use of these OER materials is NOT required; however, if a school district decides to purchase the vetted adopted materials and/or utilize the vetted OER and instructional materials, the agency shall provide support including grants and developing standards for a district to conduct a review of current instructional materials and resources and to determine the extent to which a district’s current materials correspond with HQIM. To be eligible for use of the OER a school district must adopt an Open Educational Resource Instructional Material Transition Plan to assist and support with the transition. Finally, a school district is entitled to (may not exceed $20 per student) allotment for the costs incurred that year associated with the printing and shipping of open educational resources. Funds from both allotments would be credited to the instructional materials account rather than paid out through the FSP. Finally, this bill makes a number changes related to the curation of instructional materials including: Prohibits districts to require teachers to spend time creating or selecting instruction materials unless the contract specifies this duty; Protects teachers from disciplinary action related to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment if they use ONLY materials approved an on the maintained list by SBOE; Requires parent access to instructional materials 30 days before the school year starts and 30 days after the school year ends; Requires the district to establish a parent review process and a requirement that the board must conduct a review if 25% of parents request it; Requires districts to provide teachers with Tier 1 instructional materials, or state in the teacher contract that the materials are not provided; Allows TEA to purchase materials and technology for use by districts; Modifies the instructional materials review process by SBOE; Requires that districts using the OER develop a transition plan to prep teachers for using them; Directs TEA to develop a program to help schools maintain classroom teacher flexibility and to schedule instruction to give teachers sufficient planning time; Requires districts to certify annually that they provide instructional materials in a manner that protects children from obscene and harmful materials; requires annual reporting by districts on instructional materials used in the prior year; Limits the technology that can be purchased with TIAM $$ to tech necessary to access instructional materials; Exempts certain materials that have been reviewed by TEA from competitive bidding.
