AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Texas Commissioner of Education to create a dropout recovery competency-based educational pilot program for the 2022-2023 school year.

The program allows students to earn a high school diploma by completing coursework and demonstrating mastery through testing. The bill also establishes funding and reporting requirements for the pilot program, and requires the Commissioner to evaluate and report on the program by December 2023, at which point the program will expire.
