Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to reporting by school districts regarding special education legal proceedings in which a certain amount of legal fees has been incurred by the district.
AI Summary
This bill requires school districts to provide monthly public reporting on special education legal proceedings (specifically due process complaints) where the district's legal fees exceed $10,000. Each month, districts must post a report on their website and submit it to the state education agency, detailing the general subject matter of the legal proceeding and the total legal fees incurred to date. The bill mandates that these reports must protect student privacy by excluding personally identifiable information and complying with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Additionally, the state education agency is required to compile these reports monthly on its own website, presenting the information both in a statewide aggregate format and broken down by individual school district. The commissioner of education is authorized to develop rules for implementing this reporting requirement. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in the Texas legislature, or otherwise will become effective on September 1, 2025.
