Bill > HB4104

This bill requires the Texas Commissioner of Education to develop and publish a comprehensive list of performance standards that will guide the removal of conservators, management teams, or boards of managers appointed to struggling school districts. These performance standards must be based on current law and nationwide best practices, and must include data-driven, school-specific strategies with clear desired outcomes, benchmarks, and incremental goals. Specifically, the standards will outline the specific actions and measurable targets that a district must achieve to demonstrate improvement and qualify for the removal of its appointed leadership. Once a school district meets all of the adopted performance standards, the commissioner is mandated to remove the conservator, management team, or board of managers as soon as practicable. The bill directs the commissioner to develop these standards after the act's effective date (September 1, 2025) and publish them on the agency's website, providing transparency and a clear roadmap for district improvement and potential restoration of local control.
