Bill > HB2533

This bill modifies Texas education law regarding the management of school districts and campuses that have previously been placed under conservatorship or alternative management by the state commissioner of education. Under the new provisions, if a school district or campus has been placed under a conservator, board of managers, or alternative management due to poor performance, the original board of trustees can automatically resume management once the campus receives an "acceptable performance rating." The bill changes the language from the commissioner "may" remove a board of managers to "shall" remove the board of managers if campuses achieve an acceptable performance rating, removing the previous requirement that campuses maintain acceptable ratings for two consecutive school years. These changes provide a clearer path for school districts to regain local control after implementing improvement measures. The bill will take effect for the 2025-2026 school year, with an immediate effect possible if it receives a two-thirds vote in the Texas legislature. The bill aims to create a more straightforward process for school districts to return to local management after addressing performance issues.
