Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to the means by which schools are compared in the Public School Accountability System.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the Texas Education Code by preventing the commissioner of education from directly comparing the performance of school campuses in districts with different enrollment policies. Specifically, the bill prohibits comparing campuses in districts where student enrollment is strictly based on residential zones with campuses in districts that allow parents to choose alternative campuses for their children. This means that schools with more flexible enrollment options cannot be judged by the same performance metrics as schools with more traditional, residence-based enrollment. The bill will apply beginning with the 2023-2024 school year and will take effect either immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in the Texas legislature, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not receive the required immediate voting support. The goal appears to be creating a more equitable comparison system that accounts for differences in school district enrollment policies.
