Bill > HB2987

This bill requires school district boards to provide an annual certification to the state education agency (referred to as "the agency") confirming that they have established district-level and campus-level planning and decision-making committees as mandated by existing law. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection to Section 11.251 of the Education Code, which requires boards to annually verify to the agency (through rules established by the commissioner of education) that these committees have been properly established. The bill will apply beginning with the 2025-2026 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 necessary immediate approval votes. The purpose of this bill appears to be to ensure accountability and compliance with existing requirements for school district committee formation and to provide a formal mechanism for tracking the establishment of these important planning committees.
